I loved going behind the hotel's front desk and helping the switchboard operator with the old style switchboard plugs. Many great memories.

He and my aunt had no children, so I was the fair-haired child and allowed to roam the entire place - even being taught how to run the switchboard at age 9! Eloise had nothing on me!<br />It is now the Sofitel Hotel - the scene of the DSK disaster. Don't know if the original building was demolished or just completely refurbished but it certainly looks very different.Harrietnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323012003780250968.post-49259080938315283602012-02-02T19:54:19.300-08:002012-02-02T19:54:19.300-08:00Dennis,
