Duff, did Henry live in or around Great Neck?
According to this, "HN" was a Great Neck exchange, and one of the few that didn't stand for anything.

@CJ - Right. I still remember the phone numbers of friends I haven't called since I was 14. Art: PR5-0025, Henry: HN6-2075. And Grandma: UL3-2384. The PR stood for PRimrose, the UL for ULster. I have no idea what HN was supposed to stand for.

Still have and use mine. What amazes the young people is when I dial a number from memory. They couldn't tell you their very best friends number unless they use "contacts" to look it up.

Good call, notsteve.
"HN" would have been "46"; likely was actually "IN"(gersoll)
So - after all these years - now you know :-)
I'm old enough to still be able to reflect "the Internet is amazing."
