When our Professor Peter Rachor was in high school, he was already well on his way to being an entrepreneur. One of his projects was selling 25-foot long telephone cords for the rotary phones attached to the walls of what seemed to be every home in America. We have one of these in our UP Museum if you want to know what it looks like! These phones had a three-foot cord so you could not go anywhere to have a private conversation. Twenty-five feet meant you could go into your room and shut the door! That was freedom in a world without cell phones!
