Ed, I just wanted to share some thoughts when looking at the photo of the old Glensfork Post Office.

For many, many years, my late grandfather, McKinley M.C. "Preach" Hoover, carried mail out of the Glensfork post office.

He would leave Columbia each morning, go to the Glensfork Post Office, then continue on to Crocus and other places, and usually got back to Glensfork about 11:30 a.m. or 12 noon each day.

As a child, my parents would take me from our home in Jamestown to the Glensfork post office where I would meet up with my grandfather as he finished his route, then ride with him back to Columbia post office.

After a quick lunch, we would spend the afternoon on the Columbia square, with me running around town and him sitting around the courthouse with other men whittling and telling stories!

My recollection is that there were usually several folks sitting on benches in front of the post office or standing around outside talking each time I was there. I have great memories of the Glensfork post office and my grandfather and his connection to the post office.

Thanks --Jeff Hoover
