About this product
The US Postal Service has been in existence for thousands of years. Actually it just seems like it but it has “only' been around for 238 years. In fact the post office started one year before the Declaration of Independence was signed. For most of those years it was a thriving business. As a government agency it was always one of the most efficient and trusted of all government agencies. I had the honor of being a part of this agency for 32 years as a letter carrier. I was an employee of the US Postal Service during a rather unique era within those 238 years. I saw the postal service at their all time peak as they entered the computerized age. That same computerized age has also led to the fall of the postal service. Its survival is now a top news story that promises to get bigger with each passing day. THE ROUTE takes the reader through my 32 year career so each reader can experience the highs and lows of this time honored part of Americana.
To add spice to this story I take you for a ride into my own personal life. Yes, THE ROUTE becomes a memoir. You do not need to be famous to have the reader be interested in what goes on in another persons life. My life would make Walter Mitty envious. Many people call me a dreamer, or just plain crazy. Maybe I just took too many hockey pucks to the head. Regardless, my life has been anything but normal. I take you off my mail route and onto my life route. The chapters will cover how I adopted my 2 sons from Korea only to find out my wife is a lesbian. I share my comical experiences of how I spent 5 years uncovering that truth. I tell you how my thought patterns worked to get my softball team into Attica Prison to play the inmates. Not just once but seven times. I share the story of how I managed a Triple A baseball team for 2 games and won them both. I explain how I changed the career path of the great Baltimore Oriole, Cal Ripken Jr. when he was 9 years old. To cap that off I played in a regular season pro ice hockey game as a goalie and actually won the game then proposed to my present wife at center ice. Did that on national television at the age of 49. You said Walter who?
No one has ever done this before. It's about time that you see this before its gone. Gone like the pony express, the milk man, video stores and lickable stamps. It is a book that is well overdue, just like the mail.
