[MR] Fwd: Pennsic Post Office, feel free to distribute widely

[LWright740 at aol.com]

I did as suggested via the web site. I was told, by the person that  called 
me back, that the best way to insure this mobile post office station  stays 
is to contact local Congressman and senator  in the area of  Pennsic.  They 
also suggested starting a petition.  This could be done  at the war as well 
as providing letters to send.  Otherwise sending info to  post office will 
be noted but will not impact outcome.
 
Thought you should know,
