Few citizens of today understand the nature of the Bell System, as it has been extinct since January 1, 1984. This Saga looks back on these events from the prospective of an Operating Company Employee charged with the maintenance of the Bell System Network. The historic beginning of the Bell System is also discussed to provide perspective on the 20th century Bell System Monopoly. This Saga sheds light on little known contributions made by the Bell System to life in America other than telecommunication related contributions. Where would we be today without the Transistor?. 21st century Americans will not believe how today's communications technologies began!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e A.
