    And I'm going to hazzard a guess (having only live here in Renton for 12 years) that our exchange would've been Crestview, maybe Crestwood. I know the suggested exchange they have for the phone number I grew up with isn't what it actually was - Newmark for the 63 beginning of the number in Long Beach, CA. I think I'll make a sticker for my vintage style reproduction desk phone & candlestick phone - someday I may find the real thing that won't cost an arm & a leg!
    Drats! My beginning numbers 5-7 were used as radio numbers back then. I'll have to keep looking.
