“My grandparents had a party line at their farm with their own special ring.”
Grandpa W. Number 903R1. Two longs and a short.
Grandpa B. Number 927J2. Three shorts.
What were the longs and shorts?
Then 2 lines were strung into our town through over 5 miles of woods so there were 2, 12 party lines.
We were one long and two short.
