Noticing the Mail

Cornelius, NC, Letter Carrier Grady Privette became concerned when mail for customer Dolly White began piling up. Privette rang the doorbell several times but only White’s dog responded. Privette tried a neighbor’s home and had no luck there either. He returned to his office and called several other people in town before finally getting White’s neighbor. The neighbor checked on her and summoned paramedics. It turns out she had suffered a stroke four days earlier and Privette’s persistence saved her life.
