Hi Joan,

 

I just ran across this article, you may be interested in it. :eek:

 

 

"Phone Cos. Guard Bell Name — Although the former "Ma Bell," AT&T, is about to be acquired by one of the regional Bell companies created by its breakup, its offspring still fiercely guard the Bell brand. Michele Yontef, a private investigator who calls herself "Ma Bell," is being sued by Qwest Communications International for trademark infringement. A trial date is expected to be set this month. A lawyer for Qwest said the Bell companies cooperate and meet regularly to safeguard the trademark, which is a valuable legacy. The Wall Street Journal, A1."

I saw a sign on a picket line once that read "Ma Bell is a mean Mother....". I KNOW they weren't talking about our Joan!

You sure have become famous, you've become a THREAD!!!! I'm impressed. I would have asked you for your autograph on the Infinity in Hawaii. Sorry we didn't have more time to spend with you and George. Well maybe next time. As you know we couldn't do the Alaska with you. We will be on the Constellation out of Dover on Sept. 10th. Bon Voyage to you both, Jean and Frank

Hi Anita,

 

I guess I better be careful and keep a low profile.;) I haven't met Bill in person yet, but I'm sure you'll enjoy him! Hope you and Steven are doing well!
