In Memoriam, Anderson Family, Carnation WA

It is so very painful when senseless tragedy happens on a special occasion such
as Christmas Eve and when one of our extended postal family is involved, it is
especially sorrowful and deeply tragic. For Judy Anderson a rural carrier and
her husband, Wayne, it is the worst of tragedies. They raised a family and were
approaching retirement aged about 61. Some years ago they had purchased a
property adjoining their own and a mobile home was placed on the lot some 200
yards from the Anderson's home. Wayne and Judy's daughter, Michelle lived in the
mobile home with her boyfriend, Joe McEnroe.
Sometime on Christmas Eve daughter Michelle and Joe McEnroe came to the Anderson
home and shot Wayne and Judy. McEnroe then dragged the bodies out to the shed
when Son Scott came to visit with his wife, Erica and their two children, aged 6
and 3. They were also shot by McEnroe.
Judy Anderson was a well known and well liked local in the area. Their bodies
were found by a family friend when Judy failed to report for work on December 26th.
How horrible to lose three generations of a family on Christmas Eve. How must
more horrible is it that one of the two murderers was the daughter they
nurtured, supported and helped even to the day she and her boyfriend killed
them. She killed her father, her mother, her brother, her sister-in-law, her
niece and her nephew all on Christmas Eve.
It is a torment that is hard to bear for those who knew her and for those of her
extended postal family. In memoriam for Judy Anderson and her husband Wayne, an
engineer with Boeing and for their family members. This Christmas season when
our hearts are broken and our souls heavy, let us take a moment to pause in
memory of the Andersons and the lives they touched.

NEW FSS MOU
After years of research and development and the continuing testing of machines capable of putting flats in Delivery Point Sequence (DPS) order, the Postal Service is currently scheduled to begin providing flats in DPS order to some rural routes in late 2008. It is expected that this development may impact the work methods and route evaluations of rural carriers whose routes receive flats in DPS order. Therefore, the parties have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly study and address all issues related to the introduction of DPS flats on rural routes.
