Here’s one of his favorites, at least the last time we asked
him.
Hi folks,
My first job upon coming to California in 1968
as a young lad was as a mailman in the San Francisco Fillmore
District. I started during one of the wettest Christmas seasons
in recent history. 7,000 pieces of mail and some 600 stops every
day…day in…day out…for $3.67 an hour…through
rain, sleet or snow, as they say. And up and down countless Victorian
staircases, as no one ever tells you. But the best part of this
job was all the delightful canines I got to meet. I got used to
being attacked daily. Anyway, after seven months of this service
to humanity, I quit, and had my supervisor tell me that I was
making a big mistake, as these jobs are not easy to come by. I
am happy to report that I have never had a moment of remorse over
my decision.
Thanks,
D.M.K.
