I grew up in the house that my mother grew up in. My grandparents were there with us too. The house phone number began with an “SH” for Sherwood. As we approached teen status it was decided that the house would need a second phone line. The new number began with an “OW” for Owens. Generally people with those numbers were cast sideways glances because they were viewed as newcomers! My mom and dad had to reaffirm that they were indeed not new in town but had lived their all of their lives.
