A note from the author:  Inspired by watching my teen-granddaughter texting with her cell phone, I told her how amazing today’s technology was and that when I was her age our telephone was on a party line. She wanted to know if I went to the party. Her non-understanding of what I was talking about prompted the writing of this book.
