Our cabin phone number must have been recycled from someone who used it in the relatively distant past. About once a month we would get a call from someone looking for Alice. The callers were from companies that had done business with Alice and were trying to restart whatever business they had done with her before. Our standard response was to immediately adopt a somber, funereal tone of voice and say, I'm sorry . . . Alice doesn't live here anymore. Most of them got the reference. Eventually the calls stopped.
