            ANSWER THE PHONE!

   December the 12th's Unofficial Holiday 

is "Ding A Ling Day." It has nothing to do

with the Chuck Berry song "My Ding A

Ling" except for the fact both came around

in 1972. Franky Hyle came up with the idea

for this day. He started a club through a

newspaper advertisement and got nearly

800 people to sign up. The club numbers 

in the thousands now. The "Ding A Ling"

represents the ringing of a telephone. Each

December 12th members, and you as well,

are urged to make a call to family or friends

they, or you, haven't contacted for a long

time. It's a great way to re-connect and 

usually both parties end up felling pretty

good about the call. I plan to make a call

or two and, with a little luck, maybe I'll

get one myself. Give it a try yourself!

Hope you get through and that all your

NEWS is good!
