HOPE — During the five years since rural mail carriers stopped delivering mail to her home, Geraldine Kohman said she’s written a stack of protest letters.

Some correspondence to her Washington, D.C., lawmakers, the U.S. Postal Service and Dickinson County officials has been mailed from the post office in Hope, 14 miles round trip from her home. Other letters have been sent by email.

Regardless of how they were sent, few of her letters have been answered.

“I’m very angry, and I don’t get over it. I’ve sent about 100 letters, and they just ignore you,” said Kohman, 75.

Her quest to have mail deliveries restored at her home in southern Dickinson County has occupied much of her time in the past five years.
