That's a great story Janet. People like Dick who love life, are such a gift.
My first hubby and I had a phone like that that did work. It was still in the late 60's, so I guess the phone co. hadn't changed over yet. We had one phone co. in NYC.
We called it Ma Bell. (Bell Telephone Co.).
They were a monopoly, so had to change and the confusion afterwards was amazing! Most people stuck with Ma Bell - you paid your bill and your phone always worked, no surcharges, fix-it charges, etc.
It's good to be older. I remember lots of stuff that makes me smile.
Anyway, that phone wasn't clear so we only used it once or twice. You had to dial on another phone of course, and then you could talk on the old one. My ex#1's uncle was so adorable. He had taken it from work, where it still hung in the 60's, and gave it to us.
