Mailman Tales (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781517015053)

Jess Thornton is a 38 year postal veteran, the vast majority of his career spent in the Driftless Area of Wisconsin. The young Jess came from a big city post office, to the smaller and more personable one in Kachuda, Wisconsin. In postal terms, Jess has seen it all. The massive changes in the Post Office over the years are duly noted, and Jess has lots to say about that as well! Family, neighbors, Norwegian life, and small town and rural living are all explored, over a lifetime of delivering the mail. Starting as a young man, Jess Thornton totally transformed his life, and that of his family, by taking the big step of moving out of an urban center, and relocating to a wonderful place of his choosing. It's an inspiration, and any young person can do the same!
