It was winter time in Buffalo NY..... SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW ON THE GROUND.
Sharon was very young ........
SHE ASKED HER FATHER, John, WHERE SHE CAME FROM.
He put on her coat and took her outside to a large snow bank.....telling her that one dark snowy night a shooting star landed in that very snow bank....Father put the brightly shining star in a bucket......took it inside ...placing it beside the fireside to warm up.
Then it became YOU....SO.....YOU ARE LITTLE STAR OR ESTRALITA!
Back then if you wanted to talk to a neighbor you just opened the window and hollered!
AND....WE HAD PARTY TELEPHONE LINES.. you’d give the desired number to call , to the operator. then she would connect!
USUALLY 3-4 homes on a circuit. If busy....well
JUST HANG UP,And WAIT. BUT MOST WOULD RELINQUISH THE LINE COURTEOUSLY
