William Cary, Rusk postman, makes his appointed rounds regardless of the weather in Rusk. What a difference a
few weeks or a month or two makes when you consider what type of weather we have had previously. The snow in
the photo might be a welcome relief to many Ruskites who are sweltering in the hot temperatures which are now
with us. Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow will deter the postman from making his appointed rounds...or even the
hot summer months.

The umpire has a split second of indecision during the Van-Rusk Hi-Dislrkt play-
