From the book's introduction:

"Ask any retired letter carrier what he/she misses most about the job and invariably you’ll hear, “I miss the people ... my customers.”

I’m not sure the public realizes how much a role it plays in our daily experience as letter carriers. The simple, polite inquiry, “How’re you doing?” the weather-related comments, the laughs and stories become part of our whole experience. And, I suspect, we become part of theirs for the years we pass through their neighborhoods each day."
