I have a Feb 1991 recording of Ch 36 Eyewitness News in the full half hour I bought from a seller in the outskirts of Elmira. The graphics on the station were generic to early 90s standars including the commercials they produced. One of the reports on my videotape has the Ch 36 mic flag seen here with the Electrovoice RE-50 with black trim.
I lived 10.5 miles to the East of this. That Monday morning the phone range and my mother picked up. A minute later she told me I was going to school to my homeroom. "Which one? Last year or the new one?" I asked. Last year she replied. ~11am she drove me to Monticello and crossed over the 17 at Old Liberty Road. To the right and left were cars double and triple parked to the horizon they were left there as they walked to the show. From that overpass to the concert was an 11 mile, 4+ hour hike. I was taken to Rutherford Elementary where we made cheese, bologna and white bread and mayo sandwiches. My teacher wrapped these back up into the bread wrapper (No sandwich bags) took the 2 or 3 loaves of sandwiches out to the field behind my school. There was a National Guard Huey helicopter there that had landed in the playground and took the sandwiches to the site and air dropped them to the people still there. Max Yasgur, the farmer who had the show on his land, was my milkman. Old school bottles into a galvanized metal box at our front door that he hand delivered. I never was able to convince my mom to order strawberry milk...

Now thinking about the rotary phone forced people to be patient . Compared now goggle a number press and connects . But wait a minutes cell phoning has many multiple choices to choose from then possibly more before getting a human . Old dial phones got a human instantly .
In the 40s we kids were not allowed to even touch the phone. So when home alone, we’d look up unusual names (Frankenstein, etc.,) in the phone book and call them for laughs. Nowadays, kids swap nude pictures on their phones! Progress run amuck.
I wonder if RU-vid is cross referencing what you post on FB? I just posted something like this last night. Now, look what popped up in my RU-vid feed. Pretty interesting anyway.
Back in my Grandmother’s day she was a telephone operator for a mining town. She had to answer all incoming calls at the switchboard and then connect them to the correct phone. No dialing by the residents. Grandma had to direct outgoing calls. Then WWII came and she moved to Phoenix and was a Rosie the riveter. Dad was a depression era latch key kid. ❤
