Ed T,

There was a phrase coinded in the late 60's, when I was totally wet behind the ears, fresh out of college and just starting my career with Allis Chalmer in 1967. I received a certified letter from teh US government and was offered the opportunity to serve my country for 2 years - a duty and privlidege for sure. But first I had to take a physical exam and do things like cough, bend over, provide a specimen, read an eye exam chart, pass a color blind test and other such stuff. As I was exiting the exam center in Chicago there were some folks demonstrating out side and they were chanting this coined phrase that I extend to you - "Peace and Love".

For the record my draft board advised me that I passed the exam with flying colors and offered 3 hots & a cot and a few buck too.

The use of "hello" as a telephone greeting is attributed to Thomas Edison. He is said to have suggested it as a simpler alternative to other greetings, such as "Do I get you?" or "Are you there?".
