Those were the days

In the great world of inventions, perhaps one of the greatest was the telephone.  Living “in the boondocks” — actually about 3 1/2 miles out of Greybull — we didn’t have the convenience of a telephone until I was a sophomore in high school.  I think then it was Mountain States, but I don’t remember, decided they could extend a telephone line up the Greybull River and beyond.  However, it was not that everyone from here to there got a private line.
