Story 190
Fess Parker - I was a mailman in Palm Springs, California and had the privilege of meeting several celebrities such as Kirk Douglas, Rod Taylor, Sydney Sheldon and Harold Robbins through my delivery rounds. My most memorable and enjoyable encounter came when I pulled up to Fess Parker's mailbox. He had just finished a conversation with his neighbor and was walking across his driveway when he spotted me. I got out of my truck and met him halfway with his mail. He was just a great person to talk to. We talked about junk mail, horses, Daniel Boone and the Post Office. When I said good-bye, I turned around to go back to my truck and for some strange reason, my feet came right out from under me and I was going down. As I was falling, Mr Parker grabbed me from under the arms and brought me to my feet. "Whew! You might have owned this place." He said, insinuating that I could have sued him. I replied, "Not a chance sir. Too much maintenance." We both had a good laugh.
