You are the  visitor since the counter was installed on 29 AUG 2003

Joyce,
May I identify myself as Richard (Dick) Kinnan, Lee Fazzari's father.  My wife, Barbara, and I met you the day Lee stopped by your home a year or so ago.
I was recently referred to your web site and found myself scrolling around and enjoying it!  You have done such a great job.
As for info re: Middlebury post office dedication.   I think we have a copy of the dedication ceremony program which may have a picture of the new post office on the cover.  I cannot check this out immediately since we are fortunate to winter in Apache Junction, AZ.  We will back in Middlebury in early May.
If I am not able to locate a copy of the program, I will be happy to take a picture and see that you have it to post on the web site.  My father  Ivan, (who was master of ceremony for the dedication) was a rural mail carrier out of the Middlebury post office for 30 some years.   I am not sure what year he was appointed, but it was the first year that rural carriers did not have to deliver mail on Christmas day!  He was always pleased if he could get through the Christmas rush of mail delivery, without having to drive the horses, because of the impassable roads of winter.
Sincere best wishes for 2005,

        Richard W. (Dick) Kinnan
