In 2011, I had 30 penpals and was just beginning to experience the world. Almost a year later I have 130 penpals and have loved every word of every letter.
In November of 2011 I wrote about my penpals, about the thirty or so individuals around the world that I wrote letters to. Over the last year I haven’t changed much. I’ve kept up with those thirty penpals, and today I have over one hundred and thirty penpals in twenty-four countries and twenty-eight states. From Tunisia to Poland, Radnor to Tacoma, Washington and everywhere in between I correspond with friends and strangers (until I write to them at least). As of August 21st I have sent a total of 485 pieces of mail, spending a total of $283.15. While this may seem like a steep price to pay, every dime is worth it. I’ve had friends who are bisexual, gay, and questioning come out to me. I’ve helped depressed friends in Belgium and Poland …

Post office boxes will be moved to the Wayne Post Office.
Friday, November 18 will be the last day of business for the St. Davids post office, which has survived multiple moves over multiple decades but did not survive the United States Postal Service's reduction plan. It's "very sad" said local resident and longtime user Arthur O'Neill. St. Davids resident Ted Pollard has also been using the branch for decades three or four times a week. Pollard said going to the Wayne Post Office will add congestion to the downtown. And then there's the parking. Multiple people in a span of a few minutes in the post office branch Thursday lamented going to the Wayne post office because of a lack of free and readily available parking. So what will people do? "I'll go to the Wayne Post Office and stand in long …
