Time well spent

Letter Carrier Joseph Redemann was recently delivering mail in a Minneapolis neighborhood when he saw a 5-year-old child wandering alone.

Redemann stopped to check on the boy, who said he was lost.

The Postal Service employee spent 10 minutes helping the lad find his parents, who were out looking for him.

His father said his son may have misunderstood instructions not to cross the road while playing outside.
