in clarksville we had a party line. we shared our phone line with the church next to our house and some neighbours. to call dad when he was at the church we'd dial a number and hang up, picking back up when the phone started to ring. each home (and the church) had its own ring so you knew when the call was for you. mom used to say we shouldn't say anything too private on the phone because our neighbour doris leeper might be listening.
