Dedicated carriers deserve recognition
I couldn't agree more with Faye and Arthur Peele of Burlington (letter, Dec. 28).
My carrier in Burlington, Willis Toller, is another one of your fine carriers.
I live in Burlington near the City Park on Church Street, and Willis is at least 30 minutes away in Mebane. My paper is there, rain or shine, sleet or snow, every morning -- and early. I'm usually walking down the drive at 5 a.m. In the rain, he thoughtfully puts it on the grass — tossing it in the center of the driveway in the rain tears the bag, which leads to newspaper pages drying on shower rods!
Sometimes the paper is tied with yellow "ribbon" and sometimes with blue, sometimes in a sleeve or bound with a rubber band, but it is always there and welcomed warmly. He (and your staff) put the world at my feet every morning.
It would be great to see a carrier profile to know more about these exceptional people, but then there may be privacy laws. Willis is wonderful.
