I fondly remember the time lady
I grew up in Washiington State, which is very similar to Oregon in many ways. Our time lady, at the time of her demise was 206-844-1111, although, they retired her when the divorce between Pacific Northwest Bell ( now Qwest) and AT&T occured. I assumed that it had just happened everywhere, apperantly not I guess. It warms my heart to call and hear the time lady again. It is a real shame that they have to put her out to pasture.It is nice to see that she is alive and well someplace. I will admit however, my old Big Ben, fresh from the clock shop (another dying breed), works perfect for telling time, as well as my cell phone.Even when the time change occures, or I have changed time zones traveling, it always changes.Yah, Yah, it is nice, I really have an affinity for the time lady.My vote for the best time lady, Jane Barbe...............take a listen........One of my favorate web sites for vintage telephone everything you can imagine............................
