There might be a few. I used to be inside plant working in a DCO on AE switching equipment in Korea in the 1970's. Later became a Telecom Engineer working for Microsoft. Retired in 2015.

Yep, I do believe that was the best job I ever had, made some good friends, and a lot of operators that were, in the vernacular of the day (groovey),, lol

1962-63 is when Southern/South Central converted our town from plug board to dial.

At one point during a game, the coach called one of his 9-year-old baseball players aside

And asked, "Do you understand what cooperation is? What a team is?"

"Yes, coach", replied the little boy. "

Do you understand that what matters is whether we win or lose together as a team?"

The little boy nodded in the affirmative.

"So," the coach continued, "I'm sure you know, when an out is called, you shouldn't argue,

curse the umpire, or call him an asshole. Do you understand all that?"

Again, the little boy nodded in the affirmative.

The coach continued, "And when I take you out of the game so that another boy gets a chance to

play,

it's not a dumb-ass decision or that the coach is a shithead is it?"

"No, coach."

"Good", said the coach. "Now go over there and explain all that to your grandmother."
