Random Memorial for Monday 3/8/10

Gone but not forgotten: "ding ... turn the page".


I was talking to some of the younger folk at work the other week, and I referenced this part of my past. For those of you in the know, it all started with a picture book and a record -- yep, I said record (but not 8-track, and not cass...ette tape or CD for you generations x, y and z) -- and you listened as a voice read the book to you. Just in case you were too young to follow along with the words, you were prompted to turn the page when you heard the tinkling of the bells. I don't know if Hooked on Phonics or Baby Einstein can compete, but ...


... little lady whose voice helped me know when to turn the page, you are missed.
