In my first grade class, we had to stand and give our phone number. At the time mine was HU2-0377 or you could say it as Hudson2-0377.

I haven't had that number in 46 years, but it's right up front in the memory bank.  Now if I could only remember what I had for breakfast today.

The funny thing is that the rolls of paper caps as they were back then would probably not be allowed as toy today... Yet we all survived just fine.
