INC NEWS - Fw: [Pineymtn] no mail yesterday

[Deb Christie]

To the Durham InterNeighborhood Council:

The Piney Mountain neighborhood did not receive mail yestertday, Thursday, 
June 22.  I have e-mailed Postmaster Tinkham (is he still postmaster?)  One 
of my neighbors actually called and received a very unsatisfactory response 
(see below).

Any suggestions?  Similar experiences?  What should we do now?

Thanks so much,

Deb Christie
