If you haven’t read the original newspaper story about Lucky and the mailman, it’s located here.

If you have read it, you know it ended with a bit of a cliff-hanger: did Mr. Donovan get his old route back? Did Lucky ever see him again?

We can now reveal the true answers to those questions: No! and more importantly, YES!

Arthur Donovan apparently didn’t ever get his old route back, but he did retire less than a year after the transfer. And what did he do as soon as he retired? Started visiting his old friend Lucky every day. The story of Arthur and Lucky’s reunion was a national story, just like the original story the year before. This clipping is from a Corpus Christi newspaper.
