When we moved to FL in 1996 our mail carrier was a good ‘old cracker woman
(“cracker” being a term applied to native Floridian pioneer settlers) who had
done the route for decades. “Miss Donna” knew my kids, me, and all the
neighbors. She always had time to stop and chat a little on her route, w
One summer in college a buddy told me that the mail was hiring summer help to
cover vacations and whatever other humannel shortages. So 3 or 4 of us went

I’ve personally known to career postal workers, a father and son who are both
mail carriers. They said it’s a high pressure job mainly because you can’t
