My Aunt Linda is a letter carrier. When I get back to Minnesota I'll ask her about funerals for postal workers she has attended.

| Today I went to the funeral of my host's letter carrier. I had never been to a postman's funeral before. The funeral was at Central Union Baptist Church in Washington, DC. The church was full of family, fellow postal workers, and customers. | Click for a larger view |

| The United States Post Office gave me such a fine trip from
Minnesota to Maryland that it is sad to think that the letter carrier from the last leg of
my journey has died. I'm glad I went to the funeral and told his family what faithful
worker he had been. My Aunt Linda is a letter carrier. When I get back to Minnesota I'll ask her about funerals for postal workers she has attended. |

| On the way to the church, I saw many neighborhoods that were not as nice as my Minnesota town. In fact, on the church's corner there were two empty boarded up apartment buildings. | No picture but you can guess. |

| Today is February 12, the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. So the book I read is Abe and Me by Louise Borden and Ted Lewin. I learned that Abe was a tall man who was a great leader. I hope I can grow up to be like Abe!! | |
