Which school? Jim Propp (currently residing in the nearby town of Belmont, but emotionally still a resident of Cambridge) PS: Or did you mean Cambridge, England? Um, the Goucher reference was intended to suggest the Trinity flavor. Jack Holloway, Stu Nelson, Mike Beeler, & I (circa '66) rented a house in Belmont (from a Dr. Quigley). Across Maple Street from the IOOF lodge. I thought the address was 24, but IOOF is listed 16, so I'm confused. New England Telephone thoughtfully recycled the phone # of a popular local business: 484 3232 . We eventually gave up and started answering the phone "Plywood Ranch". This didn't sit well with N.E. Tel when they called to ask about our illicit phone extensions (which they detected remotely via line induction.) In those days it was illegal to connect your own "instrument" to the phone system. But what really got "the Phoneys" curious was Nelson making hundreds of touchtone calls to the now infamous Area Code 809, which was unlisted and just coming on line. He was trying to figure out where it was, and eventually heard an operator say "Charlotte Amalie". But NE Tel's billing department had no idea where 809 was, nor how to charge for it. --rwg On Saturday, September 27, 2014, Bill Gosper <billgosper@gmail.com> wrote: Hopefully he, like APGoucher, will be spared enough time to still have some math-fun.
