text:  Maybe you don't, because if you never made an international call, it wasn't very common. It was expensive. But you'd call the international operator, and you'd say, I'd like to place this call to Sydney, Australia. And the international operator would tell you that it might be an hour, it might be two, it might be three, depending on the traffic, before they could get a line. So the plan was, hopefully it would all fall into place. While I was there, my mother would be calling in. The date was September 8, 1970.
