Can You Tell Me How to Get to Wright & Filippis?
By Jim Allen

My wife, Anne is a letter carrier in the city of Saginaw. After a rather long day, one of her fellow carriers who knows that I work for Wright & Filippis, came up to her to tell her about his day. He was stopped on his route by an elderly couple - the gentleman was in his early eighties and his wife, who wasn't far behind him in age, asked the friendly mailman if he knew where Wright Street was. The carrier informed the couple that they were only a couple of blocks away. The carrier inquired further to find out exactly what they were looking for, as Wright Street (a residential neighborhood) was part of his route. The lady said she was looking for the corner of Wright and Filippis, as they needed to purchase some medical equipment from the home medical company at that intersection. Doing all he could to keep from laughing, the mail carrier explained that the medical supply company they were looking for is called Wright & Filippis and that they were several miles away from the Saginaw location. He gave the couple directions to Bay Plaza in Saginaw. They were very appreciative for the directions to the Saginaw Facility, as I am sure Bernie Reid was as well.
