Phonebook Fajitas (1976-1979)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   The Bell & Howell Phonebook Fiche has most US cities, but from about 1976.
   I checked the large Texas towns (Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Austin, El
Paso) for "fajita."  There sure weren't a lot of hits.  None in Dallas.  None
in El Paso.  None in San Antonio.
   I hope I have the month correct.  It took me a while to realize that the
date of the white pages (usually December) isn't always the same as the date
of the yellow pages (usually earlier, such as June or October).  The year is
correct.
