Linda - I got pretty good at picking out the "Picksburg" accent because so many people at my church have it. Joan - you are so brave to be able to make a cold call; it's all I can do to write an e-mail to someone I've never had contact with before. Karen - I hope you get a call like this someday. It's so enjoyable! Donna - I guess we come from "talker" families. That could actually be why we like to write.Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-63155742934610245652010-03-17T22:46:54.764-07:002010-03-17T22:46:54.764-07:00Great post - never had a Texas Telephone Call (nor...Great post - never had a Texas Telephone Call (nor any equivalent) but now I wish I had! :)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711776825293238093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-25475585534727051442010-03-15T19:36:20.541-07:002010-03-15T19:36:20.541-07:00I periodically practise the cold call technique wh...I periodically practise the cold call technique when I am particularly stumped. I love the fact that people, who have never heard of me -- or the family name, are so friendly and willing to talk to me.

I was the caller to Utah for NGS and it ended in a long conversation about the recipient's ancestor from Gilmore, Texas. <br />Although not native born I have been here 40+ years, and love the congeniality of Texas people.
