Thank you, kicker, for posting that! As a retired Postmaster (worked for the USPS for over 29 years) in a "Mayberry" style town, it's nice to see someone confirm what I've always known: MOST of the folks in the Postal system are like your people. Those aren't the ones that usually get the publicity.

In my area (not just my town) I can only remember two instances when someone wasn't able to get home delivery because of a disability. And both were individuals trying to "work the system". They were just trying to get their names in the paper. No real disability.

For anyone who may not live in Mayberry, I agree with you that a person needs to be ready with the paperwork, etc.
