As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to e, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.
In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.
On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to plete his rounds becau at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of rvice.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,” he ud to say, “and a story at every one.” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day becau she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.
Mailboxes were sometimes ud for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take the eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs.” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman ud to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.
A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the ca.
As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, tho poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the to
p with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through tho holes.
encourageI made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our hou. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townnd, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.
