Mike was our mailman in the 1960s and 1970s. He knew all the parents and kids in the neighborhood. As kids, we were fascinted that he was known as Bill and Mike. Years later, I saw him in Salem and was amazed that he connected the face of a kid in the neighborhood to a now grown adult....and he remebered all the details of many years ago.
