Sculpture

Its PO is a well maintained throwback, Postmaster is a kindly keeper and unlike many of them, proud of his facility and operation. All of his stamp types for sale are displayed in a wooden and glass case, appearance inside and out like the day it was built. Local doings on an announcement board, private mailboxes as brassy and shiny as the day they were installed, flag proudly drifting in the breeze, town folks gathered out front discussing the state of NY politics and one guy quite noticeably upset with the antics and foibles of our current president. I expected Jimmy Stewart to be seen chasing Donna Reed past the library!

The art hung in lobby is a three dimensional bronze of James Fenimore Cooper. Sorry for photo quality, lights are not the best. Cornerstone partially obscured by the placement later of a handicapped ramp – we’ve seen that before, right? Directly across the street from the venerable Baseball HOF. Cooperstown must have a town code – all

Cooperstown must have a town code – all homes must be kept up to standards, streets and curbs are spotless – no litter anywhere. This place is like a trip to 1940 America. Sorry, not a cat in sight. Hope these additions to your post office library are useful. Always looking forward to your weekly blasts!

Best,

Frank
