Hello...I'm The New Detroit News Carrier In Your Neighborhood

My mania with newspapers probably started when I delivered The Detroit News for almost 10 years as a kid. I read the newspaper everyday with my big fat orange cat Bobcat and he even walked my route with me sometimes. Anyway, I picked up this New Detroit News carrier card of Scott Eastman at John King Books on Tuesday. The address, 2086 19th Street, seems to correspond to Wyandotte. Which is ironic because I'm likely going there tomorrow for an estate sale plus I am going to post some ephemera from there later. Not to mention that I have a large pile of newspaper from Wyandotte dating to the early quarter of the 1900s which I have sorely neglected. Ho hum. Well, I tracked down Scott and am sending the card to him. I'll have only owned it for less than a day but it's the right thing to do. He said that the card dates to 1974-75 when he was a carrier.
