In the deep, dark recesses of my memory is our first phone number. It began, officially, with the letters DA, which stood for Davenport. DA was, of course, 3,2. We had no area codes when I first used a phone. If someone asked for the phone number, we would say “Davenport 2 - 2635.”

I remember a pseudo touch-tone phone that, when you pressed a number, you would still here the system dialing, like click-click-click.

I still remember my phone number when I was a kid: "EVergreen 6, 5292"
