Since I had picked up bags of mail from the loading dock behind the main post office and since I had loaded those heavy bags onto/off of semis when I worked for the postal service in Ft. Wayne, I ran to the loading dock and yelled through the padlocked gate to the workers doing just that.
One guy came over, heard my story and took my postcard, assuring me he would have it postmarked in time. I made it.
A few weeks later I got the call---Seattle City Light wanted to interview me. The job that I hoped to retire from after 30 years, was mine. How greatly it would effect my entire future could never have been imaginable. How incredibly Seattle was about to be changed, no one saw coming. Right place, right time, I call it fate, my destiny. And the beginning was as dramatic as the ending would be.
