[at-l] Hiking mailmen (was Geez Guys!!)

[Mara Factor]

In 1999, there were at least two mailmen on the trail.  Candleman was 
working as a mailman (in England) before he thruhiked.

Also, Cujo (aka Pete Palmer) was working as a mailman in Connecticut prior 
to completing the Appalachian Trail in a record 48 days, 20 hours and 
change.  I found out later that he had been my aunt's mailman before leaving 
for the trail.

So much for a busman's holiday...
