Official synopsis Publisher
Neither rain, sleet, nor hail or the dark of night shall detain this couier from his swift completion of his appointed route.The swift footed Persian messengers of centuries ago ran to the beat of this mythical quotation. This measureless treasure of postal acclaim was a salute of notability that found its orginial concept during the same time frame that the tiny village of Rome was rising to its political heights. Thus, Benjamin Franklin, appointed by the Continental Congress as the postal system’s chief in 1774, adopted the lofty slogan for its own.And for the frugal of mind his salary was the hefty sum of $1000 yearly. Boom!And came the petite blonde from Louisville, Kentucky.On September21,1963, I crossed the rank and file of the postal blue to become the very first female foot letter carrier in this district, which included the states of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. As children we read the story of Allie -Baba(Babba?not sure of correct spelling)and The Forty Thieves with great excitemet.Remember, they flew the star studded sky on a carpet. My invitation will be for you to join with me, using the mode of transpotation as my pair of feet and the U.S.Mail bag.Please come and walk a mile or two with The Maillady! Let’s take a rather keen look at the street life of a Maillady. Are you ready rain that comes with thunder and no umbrella in sight? And stinking socks***and black toenails?The answers await your discovery in”Postal Blue Image!”
