[comp.dcom.telecom] Telephone Pioneers of America

DREUBEN@eagle.wesleyan.edu (Douglas Scott Reuben) (11/05/90)

Saw something in the {New York Times} Sunday section, from last week
(10/29/90).

For all of you who live on or down near "The Island" (or is it
supposed to be "OUT on the Island..." ? :-) ) - there is a Long Island
(NY) chapter of the TPA who seem to have opened a museum:

"With some 7,000 current and retired telephone employees on the
Island, the Paumanok chapter of the Telephone Pioneers of America has
enough man- and woman power to open a Pioneer Telephone Museum in
Commack. Today from 1 to 4PM, the museum greets the public with an
open house to show off its old and new communication equipment.

"The museum is at 445 Commack Road, and admission is free.
Information: 543-1371."

(The area code wasn't in the article [everyone on "The Island" I guess
is supposed to know it], which is 516.)
