Steve Cull
Look familiar? Steve Cull is Butchertowns mailman, and has been pounding the pavement in all types of weather to deliver the neighborhoods mail since 1969. The thing he loves most about his job is being outdoors and being able to interact with the people in this neighborhood. He is one of the few mailmen that know everyone on their route, and he makes a point to mention it when he sees someone mentioned in the paper. Many people have said they enjoy the fact that Steve takes a few moments to greet them and talk about their family or make small talk. Being a mailman for that long means he has not only seen kids grow up, but seen them move out and even start their own families!
Typical to folklore, Steve HAS in fact been bitten several times (9 as far as he can remember) by dogs while delivering mail-but says it was his own fault since he loves dogs so much and leans down to pet them! He has always liked the fact that Butchertown has always been a blue-collar neighborhood, and has seen a lot of change in just the last few years with the influx of younger people to the neighborhood. Stay tuned for the second part of this interview: Steve’s other life as an extremely talented folk artist!
