Glenford Sketches: Rural Free Deliver

My father was a rural mail carrier who started around 1917, in the horse and buggy days, and he drove the route for thirty five years. I was born in 1922, and my first eighteen years revolved around Dad’s route and the tales he told concerning the humor and idiosyncrasies of its people.

Glenford is a unique, small, rural town in the foothills of the Appalachians in southeastern Ohio.

My story concerns my family and the influence the characters in that small community had on my life as a boy.

This is more than an autobiography.
