Family runs Gorham Telephone in small Kansas town
Gorham Telephone Company, serving about 335 customers in Gorham and Waldo, Kansas, remains a family business after 50 years. John Murphy, president and GM, works with his wife Judy, son Mike, daughters Melinda Shoemaker and Jennifer, and brother Bill. The firm began with party lines and later moved to single party and dial service, now run from a near computer-like center. The Murphy grandchildren add a playful background as succession plans loom for the future.
