Interview with Ella Vallone, US Post Office Mail Carrier - 2.18.18

Under the Surface

Ella Vallone, the US mail carrier for Easthampton, MA has a fan club made up of all the different people who live along her route, which happens to be her very own neighborhood. Despite the challenge of walking 13 miles a day to deliver mail to 680 houses a day, the hardship of extreme weather and the weight of heavy loads, she has found the job rewarding. She says, "I am blessed with people who shower me with umbrellas, food, love and stories about themselves and the history of the town.”
