We all owe our thanks to Roelof and Liselotta Van Hasselt for taking action that resulted in SMVE getting the old mailboxes replaced. Over a year ago they wrote a letter to the postmaster at Fort Lowell Post Office detailing the poor condition of our almost 30-year-old mailboxes. They waited a long time to get a reply but when it came, it was positive and promised to put us on the list of mailboxes to be replaced.
Finally, after many more months of waiting, one of the two contractors in Tucson that replaces mailboxes showed up and replaced the ones by the north recreation area. That was last summer. All but the mailboxes at the juncture of Gelsomino and N Via Velazquez have now been replaced and we hope to see the last replacement by the end of November. Thanks Roelof and Liselotte for taking action and helping our community!
