Ron was my teacher when I transferred over to carrier in the Allentown PO.in 1969 A quiet guy but behind that perfectly trimmed mustache had a mysterious demeanor. Spent 3 days on Rt 227 behind the mail cart from 9th & Linden. Stopped for coffee,he got a haircut,break and lunch at the M&M grill/bar, numerous chats and a leisurely perfectly timed walk back to the PO. Always a friendly guy. Thanks Ron
