…. “ We eat lunch in a glass-and-chrome restaurant that brings no recall at all. It looks as though it’s been built since he lived here and shows the same lack of self-identity seen on the main street.
.... I go to a phone book and look for Robert DeWeese’s number but don’t find it. I dial the operator but she’s never heard of the party and can’t tell me the number. I don’t believe it! Were they just in his imagination? Her statement produces a panicky feeling that lasts for a moment, but then I remember their answer to my letter telling them we were coming and calm down. Imaginary people don’t use the mails. John suggests I try to call the art department or some friends. I smoke for a while and drink coffee, and when I’m relaxed again I do this and learn how to get there. It’s not the technology that’s scary. It’s what it does to the relations between people, like callers and operators, that’s scary.“

Central Business District, Corner Wilson Ave At Main Street, Bozeman, MT. This is one of the few remaining “ Glass and Chrome “ 50’s-60’s Style Restaurants I was able to find on Bozeman’s Main Street. It may or may not be the ZMM Restaurant.
….When Mr. Pirsig was teaching at Montana State College, 1959-1961, The DeWeese family lived in Bozeman, not too far from the Campus. But by time of above ZMM passage, July 1968, they had just built a New Home,`12 miles South of Bozeman, and their address was in the town of Gallatin Gateway, MT.
….So, it isn’t surprising that the phone operator did not know them, and that in 1968 the DeWeese phone number was not in the Bozeman phone directory.
….Despite what the ZMM Narrator reports, my memory is that the DeWeese Family Phone Number back in 2002, was in “The Phone Book”, and still may be.
