IRVINGTON, N.Y. (AP) - An 80-year-old New York man who thought
he'd lost the only recording of his dead wife's voice can hear her
again, any time he wants.
When Verizon upgraded Charles Whiting's telephone service, his
wife's voice, saying, "This is Catherine Whiting," disappeared
from his voicemail system.
She had died in 2005 and Whiting said he listened to her voice
every day for comfort. He blamed Verizon for the loss, saying,
"Now they took her voice away."
But Verizon had archived all the old greetings and messages.
A company spokesman says a contractor found the recording and
restored it to the new voicemail system.
Whiting says he's "very happy."
