I have written numerous blog posts about the joys of letter writing and just sending and receiving mail. It’s a simple pleasure I inherited from my dad. Late last year one of my musings got national attention as a guest post on the USPS website. I was expressing gratitude to my letter carrier and encouraging others to tell their story, or at least tell their letter carrier they are appreciated.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Changing Neighborhood</strong></span> <br />
<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was delivering for the first time a route that had once been a residential</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">street, but as time went on, had become a busy commercial artery through</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">town. The residents gradually sold their homes to businesses such as</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">dentists, tax accountants, law offices, etc. This was in the 1970s, before the</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">implementation of business mailboxes, and all businesses got inside</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">delivery. I would pull up in front of each house, grab the mail, and go</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">inside to make the delivery. As I was walking through the door of one</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">house, I wondered to myself what kind of a business is “Robert P. Jones?”</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">I got inside and suddenly stopped. I looked around and saw a coffee table,</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">sofa, chair, and television set with the ball game on. Great! I just barged</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">into someone’s living room, I thought. Just then a man walked into the</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">room carrying a bowl of popcorn and a soft drink. He said, “That’s OK—</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">it happens all the time. That’s why I leave the front door unlocked, so I can</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-size: small;">get my mail delivered right to my coffee table!”</span><br />

While casing mail in downtown Owensboro in the early 1980s, I ran across a letter addressed to a law firm. The lawyers were: Wallace Thacker, John Thacker, John Bickel and Doug Wetzel.<br />
<br />
The letter was addressed to: Cracker, Cracker, Pickle and Pretzel.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Day in the Life of a Letter Carrier</strong></span><br />
<br />
<br />
by Lois McNulty<br />
<br />
First published in North Shore Life magazine, Peabody, Massachusetts,<br />
February–March 1987<br />
<br />
<br />
You don’t know it, but I have a somewhat intimate relationship with you because I deliver your mail. I know your children’s names, I know if you’re in debt or if you’ve got dealings with a lawyer. I know about how old you are, and I have a pretty good idea how you vote. I might overhear bits of conversation between you and your spouse, and I usually know where you spend your vacations.<br />
<br />
Delivering the mail gives me a unique perspective on the lives of the people whose homes I visit, however briefly, every day. My job keeps me moving, so I usually don’t have time for a conversation with you. But<br />
because I am walking through neighborhoods all day long, I am a constant observer of people living their lives in the most routine ways. As I walk, I see people getting haircuts, selling shoes, unloading groceries,<br />
nailing shingles, hurrying to appointments, and arguing with their children. For me, this opportunity to “be with people” is one of the benefits of a job which can be repetitive, arduous, and even dangerous.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><em><strong>Sunday, May 22, 1 pm</strong></em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Kate Drury and Lois McNulty were featured presenters at Letter Writing Family Day at the Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History at Regis College, Weston, MA, one of only two postal museums in the whole country! (the other one is at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC.)<br />
<br />
<br />
This is from the museum's newsletter:<br />
<br />
<em>Letter carriers have many interesting stories to tell. You can read about a number of them in the recently published book <strong>Carried Away</strong> by Kate Drury and Lois McNulty. Drury has been a letter carrier in Amesbury since 1987 and McNulty's father was a carrier in Florida for many years. The book is a collection of great short essays submitted by postal workers from across the country and is now on sale in our store. The proceeds from the sale of the books will be divided between the Museum and the Postal Employees Relief Fund. More info is at www.carriedawaytruestories.blogspot.com. Both authors will be speakers at our annual Letter Writing Family Day on Sunday, May 22 at 1:00.</em><br />
