<DIV><FONT color=#000080 size=4 face=Arial>Bill, Since I am Paisley Postmaster,
retired....I had many different reads on envelopes. Some were a little
more that unusual, but since I knew everyone...the letter got delivered.
However, a properly addressed envelope was sure nice. I had a nasty
inspector that seemed to appear when an envelope would come with just a
name and Paisley. I knew where to deliver, but that ole bag had to lecture
me to lecture the customer on how to properly address an envelope for
delivery. I will not repeat what happened when she tried to instruct a
customer on how to tell the person who mailed the letter to them that was not
'properly' done. It was not a pretty scene. I got a bad mark,
but oh well....was fun to watch the customer explain to this ole bag a few
things about life. And her ancestry.!!! </FONT></DIV>
