briefly delivered mail back in the mid 1980’s. Around the time that social security checks and food stamps should be delivered, he would get threatened by some people if those checks weren’t delivered on time. It was just crazy! He only delivered mail for about six months, I believe. Then he went into maintenance and when he retired was an electronic technician at the post office.
