Shortly after graduating from high school, my brother, Roger, joined the Air Force.  We missed him terribly, and to make matters worse, he wasn’t allowed to use the phone.   After about 2 weeks my family was awakened in the middle of the night by the ringing telephone.    Fearing something had happened to Roger; I hurriedly picked up the receiver and was relieved to hear his voice.  “What happened?”  I said.  “I thought no one was allowed to call out?”   “We’re not,” he answered.  “But they left me guarding the phone!”
