OP even as a child i learned FO 5- for Fordham, but almost immediately relearned it as 365
I can still recall phone number from the 1940s - but only by using the old name prefixes : home GLenview 8-8962, Dad's private office line GL 2-3211 and my dearest friend's number in Newton, Mass BIgelow 4-1255!
Ain't memory an Odd Duck - (633-3825) !
Anyone here relate?
I think it funny that the phone company stopped using the Alphabet and went to all numbers then they turn around and issue numbers to accomodate companies as of troy mentioned with companies give out their number as all letters.. 1-800 MATTRESS
