217 is a number that has been a part of our lives for a while now. When Liz Gizelle was a teenager, beepers were very popular. OMG Beepers! Does anyone even remember what those things are? Anyhow… when Liz Gizelle wanted someone to know she was sending them a message, she would end her pager message with 217. Since you could only use numbers, you had to be creative. When you flip the numbers 217 around, they spell LIZ. This became Liz’s signature for years to come.
