People You Know and the Potter Post Office Staff
Veteran workers at the Potter Post Office are Dewey Lovell and J J Fiegenschuh along with Ralph Merscheim Lloyd Juelfs and Wesley Gadway. Lovell began carrying mail in 1929 and Mrs Lovell rose to acting postmaster in 1945 with official appointment in 1949. The team handles busy Christmas rushes and 238 post office boxes, while active in Red Cross Salvation Army and March of Dimes. Judge J J Nisley of North Platte, once district and county judge, was re elected police magistrate in North Platte in 1961 and now seeks reelection. Embarrassing Moments features Mrs Sol Willis Jr whose dog Dammit inspired a name change to Clancy after a chance encounter during a Tom Miller auction day.
