For more than a decade, Winni Thompson has delivered their letters, packages and birthday cards, but on Friday the neighbors in North Baltimore had something for her. A small crowd waited outside the condos in the Village of Cross Keys to thank her.
“I’m nervous,” said Thompson, their longtime U.S. mail carrier.
“You’re nervous? You were like a superhero last Friday,” Beth Hehir said.
It was here on Bouton Green Court that the frightening scene occurred last week. Thompson had just parked her mail van and stepped out when she recognized a customer from her route. Only, the 91-year-old woman was sitting alone in a parked car.
She knew something was wrong with the woman alone in the car. Thompson had brought her mail for years, too.
“She looked like she didn’t know me,” Thompson said.
