David Lee is reporting in The Columbia Paper Tab Eigenbrodt, the longtime rural mail carrier for the East Chatham Post Office, last month was presented with an award for heroism by Albany District officials. During his appointed rounds, Eigenbrodt noticed one of his customers had not picked up their mail for several days. “I have people who might leave their mail for a month, but this was really unusual for this person.
