Mail Jumping
Mail Jumper! The Story of the First Mail Girl
From age six, Elaine Kanelos knew one thing: she wanted to deliver the mail on Lake Geneva’s U.S. Mail Boat. In this witty tale of achieving her dream, Elaine explains how mail jumpers do their job. She recounts close calls on the boat and lakeside high jinks with co-workers and friends as well as a multitude of joyous adventures on the waters of one of the Midwest’s most beautiful lakes.
Funny, familiar, and full of heart, this personal narrative provides a one-of-a-kind glimpse into the work of the mail jumpers from the girl who did it first.
