You’ve Got (A Ton) Of Mail

Don and Jeanne Morris did everything they were supposed to do before leaving Coeur d’Alene last fall to spend the cold winter months in sunny Southern California. It’s something they’ve done every year for 20 years, so they know the drill. They make the to-do lists and get everything done, including filing a temporary change of address request with the post office, before heading out of town. Their North Idaho mail has always been forwarded south to them without a hitch. Until this year. “If you want to see what five months of mail looks like, here,” Don said, pointing to a United States Postal Service mail bin brimming with mail items addressed to the couple/ Maureen Dolan , Coeur d’Alene Press.
