Lessons.”

Stella, or are there other attractions?

few remember her as our attractive telephone operator from way, way back
yonder.

to, near, at, or where, or sometimes near Central Supply? Maybe he just likes
to see the trains coming in and going out. (Nope, like to see the buses that go
to Cary, N.C.)
