Of course I wouldn't have know him at the time either.. but now I do. And a question: have you noticed that cancellation marks on your mail have gotten better lately? Mine seem to be arriving with actual round cancellations --like they used to. Wondered if you noticed that too or maybe it's just a fluke. I would be great if the P.O. started getting hip to some of the reasons people love mail.sallywhttp://sallyw.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179696067342818298.post-60458621274652280212012-09-28T08:33:42.931-07:002012-09-28T08:33:42.931-07:00Karen--we had a fabulous summer together and I vis...Karen--we had a fabulous summer together and I visited her in Ireland later too.

How I looked forward to those letters. I never met any of them in person though.<br />This post makes me very sentimental about mail and post offices. Your hand canceling with Dave looks like great fun. What a guy.

Looks great to me. <br />One of my favorite postal memories is when I would visit my grandmother in Seattle she would let me "go get the mail," which meant a little walk up a long, long driveway, crossing the street (looking both ways) and reaching up to the metal mailbox. Sometimes there would be a magazine along with letters and bills. I carried them oh so carefully back to my grandma's waiting hands and always felt proud and fulfilled. I learned that Mail is important and mail is valuable and even worth a little reverence. Fun to have someone who understands, with whom I can share these memories. Thanks for sharing yours.
