When:1984-1987
Where: Washington DC
Riding for: Michaels Courier Service, Allstate Messenger Service, Quick Messenger
Service, Central Delivery Service
These couriers and their respective call numbers are fading from memory,
but their images and experiences will last a lifetime. In many ways, these
were the best days of our lives. The comraderie, fat paychecks, outstanding
health, sheer exhilaration and excitement were unsurpassed. In a land
of desk jobs, we were in the saddle, riding high and walking tall, literally,
messengers of the Gods who rule western civilization. I salute them all and
wish them well. If any couriers should read this, please
contact me at
cyclist@cybergeo.com. I need your help in verifying the courier names and
their call sign numbers as well as the client addresses and the type of business
they were engaged in. With your permission, I would like to publish your
memories and add to this site.
