Fire Chief Jim







At the doctor's office the other day in the waiting room I did not notice the people already sitting. One man mentioned he used to be a carrier and said he delivered part of Canton Road. I perked up and looked at him. I remember him. I could not recall his name but I remembered his nickname "Fire Chief". He was called Fire Chief because he was a Marietta Fireman before coming to work for the Marietta Post Office. Finally I remember his name is Jim.
He is the only carrier I know who was shot at by a patron and later another patron held a shotgun up to his head and ordered off his property when Jim attempted to have the man sign for a certified piece of mail.
