<DIV>Andi,</DIV>
<DIV>I can relate to the Rural Routes around Veneta. I grew up in Noti and went to grade school there. While in high school, we lived on Knight Road just east of Noti. I always said that I lived at Noti, went to high school at Elmira and our address was a Rt. 1, Box 449, Veneta. No wonder it is hard to pin down locations for people.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As far at the phone, since I am a little older than you, I can remember when the phone numer was strictly four digits (2595 for us). It was later that we got the Webster 5 - WE5 prefix.</DIV>
