The above is the beginning of the Postman's creed or motto. The USPS has announced that they will be delivering packages seven days per week during the holidays so don't be afraid to send mine on a Sunday. There is a strain of this service running thru my family as my father worked in the Post Office for forty-six years starting in 1910 as a twenty year old mail sorter. He became good at it and prided himself on the fewest errors. There were no ZIP codes then. He also felt that the Postal Inspectors would occasionally send a fat envelope thru his stack to test his honesty which offended him. Back then a government job with a Federal pension was a plum and he was rewarded later in life. Tomorrow, I will relate my own experiences sorting mail.
