When I was a kid in Beverly Hills, CRestview 1-4766. When I was an undergraduate in Pasadena, SYcamore 2-9829.

When all-number calling came in, I made up mnemonics based on the numbers of letters in successive words. When I lived on Long Island in the '60s, my home phone was "finemans retreat situated on a tiny estuary". At work, "generally an avid editor is fucked up".
