Our little farming community in the Virginia Piedmont lost its PO some years ago, and for many families it was a serious crisis to purchase fuel to go so far as 30 miles round trip, twice a week, to enjoy mail service they had known all their lives, 6 days a week. Finally, a jerry-rigged trailer restored local postal service. Notwithstanding its projection of Big Government, it has revived the agrarian greeting place.
Will do. Today.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.

I did it, too, today. Beautiful idea.

ReplyDeleteShouldn't someone notify the NY Times so they can carry on with this story?
I'm certain a National Letter Writing Campaign would commence quite quickly.
My Grandmother's sister was our post mistress. The post office was in her house.
It stayed that way for three generations.
