    Carrier guides driver to safety after car accident
    March 29 at midnight

    Rural Carrier Jessica Reimers was recently delivering mail on an icy day in Fullerton, NE, when she came upon a car overturned in a ditch, with an older driver climbing out of the vehicle.

    Reimers immediately called 911 and guided the woman to safety.

    The Postal Service employee comforted the driver until emergency responders and family members arrived on the scene.

    The woman recovered from the incident.

Mailbag

  • Kelly Wheeler, Sayner, WI:

    After reading “Vital valentines,” the article about the organization that sends valentines to senior communities to combat the effects of social isolation and loneliness, I wrote a note to an elderly customer. The sweet lady had lost her husband a few months ago and I just wanted her to know that I was thinking of her on the first Valentine’s Day without her husband.
