Used to be at Fort Hollabird in Baltimore...and after they disbanded, I
rented a very complicated telephone switchboard from the local telephone
company that they used to connect folks from around the world.

Heard some interesting stories about how it was used...none could be
attributed to anyone.

Those folks had a LOT of files on a LOT of folks.
