Reminiscences of Mr. Zip

About the Book

Come walk the route with me, and experience the day by day life of your friendly city letter carrier. See the joys and admiration, the love, affection, and acts of kindness and appreciation of which so often is shown by and for the postman. Read of his hobbies, his habits, and of his trauma from a dreadful disease which was with him for the last twenty-five years, and into retirement.

This is the true story of the experiences, the joy, and the sorrow of a city letter carrier in a mid-western city in the United States. Here-in he tells of his thirty-one years as a letter carrier, a two year period of which was on trial supervision, and sixteen years of retirement.

In this short story, you, the reader have seen only a very few of my own personal experiences of trying to be one of Uncle Sam's respected courriers. There are thousands out there like me just waiting to be heard from, and I hope this book will get them all fired up to telling their own stories.
