Larry Schuler, Postal Carrier/Actor









This is a bad picture of Larry Schuler I took at the funeral home today. Some Marietta Postal employees, past and present, will recognize Larry as one of us. Others will recognize him as a movie and TV actor. He was hotel desk clerks in MY COUSIN VINNY and MISSISSIPPI BURNING. He also played a uniformed deputy in the TV series IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. And many others. When I took his picture he said, Eddie, usually I charge for someone to take my picture." That sentence makes it look like we were old friends. To be truthful, when we first saw each other we recognized each other but neither of us could remember the other one's name. We reintroduced ourselves.
