And, yes, I love pictures--including the one of my "helper." When I was working as a release-time union steward, I often used USPS half-trays for office equipment. This cat could never pass up turning a box into a bed. Glad you enjoyed the photos.<br /><br />Robyn Echols writing as Zina AbbottZina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-10010062476196346682015-01-20T13:45:14.102-06:002015-01-20T13:45:14.102-06:00Thanks, Tanya.

A lot of towns have them, and I have decided that when we plan our sight-seeing trips, those are among the museums and collections I want to visit.<br /><br />Robyn Echols writing as Zina Abbott Zina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-45805761026942807392015-01-20T13:43:19.169-06:002015-01-20T13:43:19.169-06:00Thanks, Kaye.

One of the things that really caught me off-guard when I started working for the Postal Service was to learn that the word "parcel" was the proper word for what I always had called packages. Good luck on your postal research. You'll have to see how long they have had processing plants for the mail. I know when I read about the Chicago P.O. of the 1930s (Photo was featured in this blog), it was set up to receive out of town mail by rail. When more of the mail started being moved by airplane and truck, they had to revamp the whole building. Just a thought.<br /><br />Robyn Echols writing as Zina AbbottZina Abbott Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514497895329220725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2091700778275524261.post-52513748565246063262015-01-17T07:13:12.187-06:002015-01-17T07:13:12.187-06:00I feel like I must be a dinosaur.

Of course, finding these little details as we research is what makes writing historical fiction challenging, but also, fun and interesting. <br />I like all the pictures you included. It helps to have a visual idea of the subject. This was a very interesting post, Robyn. Well done.Sarah J.

Thank you. :-) I've had the same thing happen to me that you did: I finished a story and OMGosh, I realized a point of history I'd included was way off the mark. *gasp*<br /><br />I have a story-in-progress in which a 'parcel' *grin* is sent from Chicago to New York in 1929. I've had the dickens of a time figuring out what happens to the parcel once it gets to a post office in New York (and there were several). Oh, the challenges (and rewards) of writing historical romances.<br />Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.com
