References to 804 in the late sixties?  Unfortunately, I have had
non-Telecom cases where I react "I heard or read that somewhere" and
can no longer pin down where "somewhere" was.  Around 1976 or so, I
was looking at a 1972 Williamsburg (Va.) phone book, already knowing
that Virginia had areas 703 and 804, when I discovered that it said to
dial 1+7D for long-distance within Virginia!  All of Virginia was
703-NNX when that phone book went to press, and there is a Washington
Post article announcing the new area code 804.
