Like her mailman master, Cal Foster of 401 Mark Hannah Place, Charlie - short for Tammi Charlie, not Charlotte or Charlene - thrives on daily mail deliveries. According to Mrs. Foster, the eight-year-old chihuahua grabs the mail as the postman puts it through the mail slot and delivers it to the Fosters. Occasionally, she has been known to grab the postman's glove along with the mail, but it's all in fun. Unlike her master, Charlie is very enthused about the large quantity of mail the Christmas season brings. It means lots of letters and a new red Santa suit.

EFFICIENCY'S THE WORD: The Christmas season represents the biggest challenge of the year for the Ann Arbor Post Office, and this is the biggest Christmas mailing season yet. But methods evolved through long years of experience enable the huge mail-handling chore to proceed smoothly and efficiently. The complex mail-sorting process, for instance, stars right at the very beginning -- when the mailer turns in his cards, letters and packages. Instead of dropping them into slots, he hands them to a girl in the Post Office lobby,. She sorts them into three classes -- city mail, state mail and out-of-state mail.

MORE SORTERS AT WORK: Normally, the Post Office has 15 of these sorting boxes in operation, but for the Christmas season the number has been increased to 34. Many of the part-time workers are vacationing students, and some of them are working a 150hour shift, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m.
