Ever since he announced his intention to retire a few months ago, customers along Carl Mitchell’s mail route have been celebrating their beloved mail carrier. Mitchell has served the North Larchmont route and surrounding streets since 1980, according to a recent story in the Larchmont Chronicle honoring Mitchell. He started at the US Post office in 1975, as a temporary employee sorting holiday mail. Folks at the post office liked him, and Mitchell was hired as a full-time employee on July 7, 1977 – so it’s fitting that July 3, 2019 was Carl’s last official day.
Patricia Lombard is the publisher of the Larchmont Buzz. Patty lives with her family in Fremont Place. She has been active in neighborhood issues since moving here in 1989. Her pictorial history, "Larchmont" for Arcadia Press is available at Chevalier's Books.
