Yorktown News-View
Back in the early 1990’s my wife and I were visiting some friends in a town we were going to move to. I had accepted a job at the newspaper, and we were searching for places to live. Visiting with some long-time friends in that town, we were enjoying some friendly conversation as we were eating dinner.
This was a time before social media or cell phones. My friend answered his home phone and ask me to come to it. It was my second daughter calling from the town where we actually lived, about 40 miles away from where we were. Getting a call unexpectedly causes apprehension, especially when she was home with one of her girlfriends and her two smaller siblings.
