Subject: RE: BS: Should have been lost forever
I heard on NPR today that the daughter (or grand-daughter) of Emily Post is starting a campaign to improve our manners with regards to the cell phone. The story was told of a minister who was delivering a funeral message when a cell phone went off in the congregation. The person with the phone answered it & began a conversation right there in Church! This continued until the minister stopped speaking until he had the attention of the telephone conversationalist. If that ever happens while I am giving a funeral message, may I have the courage to do the same.
