Whether on the back of a horse during a snowy day or through the streets by foot, Holly Horner tries to be outside as much as she can. Naturally, Holly chose to be a city carrier, delivering mail to businesses in bustling downtown Ithaca, as well as to houses in the more residential areas of town. We accompanied Holly while she was carrying out mail from her right-seated postal truck. Sitting down with her, she told us about the seasonal changes of mail traffic in a college town, the pitfalls of her job and what skills she had to learn for doing it right.
