I remember that snow in 76'.... I was having swim practice in Leesburg that night... we thought it was soooo cool, swimming in the snow.

We swam in the winter at Silver Glenn Springs in the Ocala Forest. Because the water was always 78'.... funny seeing aligators swim beneath you as you swim over them.

Donna, do you remember Silver Glenn?

Wow D, sorry to hear this.

ANYONE can put in a Change of address, you just go in and get the forms, fill it out with name, new and old address's and sign it then you mail it postage free to your old post office. You do not nor have you ever had to show id for this.

The post office then sends a letter normally to the new address asking you to verify, the ask you to look over the form and if everything is correct there is no need to do anything else.

It's a diffent flaw.

I'm NOT pointing fingers and I did not post this with any intent to do so. To be honest the thought hadn't crossed my mind until others mentioned it.

This had nothing to do with where my husband works, it is my home address with his business name on it. At this point it is up to him to do what he needs to do.

My husband has a website and yes the address is on it, his partner hired some nitwit to desingn the site and we have repeatetly asked for our address to be removed.

Anyone could have done this!


I just found it strange how the USPS could allow something like this to be done so easliy but make it very hard to un-do or get any information on why it happened.

This is a federal offense! Make sure that you do something about it. CALL your local PO or 1/800-ASK-USPS and get the phone number for yur local PO Investagator. Also talk to your local police department - they will SOMETIMES get involved or at least get the PO moving on it.

Tempering with mail is a FEDERAL Offense!

We changed our street address to a PO Box. We got a letter to our old address notifying us of the change, and a letter to the new PO box with the same thing. My husband didnt have to show ID to do this, he just went in and signed the form and that was it. But, we are a small town and I guess maybe they knew him when he did it. Steph
