Barbara Jones walks back to her truck after making a delivery Thursday. The weather this year made delivering difficult, she said, but "we go 'til we get our mail done, get everything delivered every day."
You've got mail
One of the day-to-day constants throughout the country is mail. An institution founded in 1775 by Benjamin Franklin, the United States Postal Service is a steady reminder that the gears of life keep turning. While technologies have changed and the scope has increased, the concept of the carrier - the person dropping off letters from grandma or that latest catalog - remains constant. It is a clear Thursday, and winter is beginning to lose its hold on the city. Barbara Jones, a city carrier for the U.S. Postal Service in Craig, walks up to an apartment complex on the west side of Craig. She is greeted by a couple children and one of the residents of the building. "Getting out and meeting people on the street and being outdoors," is her favorite part of the job, Jones said.
