Dale Justus was a new employee of the United States Postal Service
on July 21, 1986. His new job as a rural mail carrier at the post
office in Edmond, Oklahoma, assured him great opportunities for the
future. It would be nearly a month later, on August 20, that City
Letter Carrier Patrick Henry Sherrill came to work with three guns
in his mail bag and used two of them to massacre fourteen of his
fellow workers and seriously wound six others before taking his own
life. Justus's secure future almost ended after only thirty days on
the job. There have been several accounts of what happened on that
blackest day in the history of the postal service. Some accounts
have offered incomplete portions of the truth, but most of these
were written by those with no personal knowledge of the facts. It
has taken twenty-five years for someone to write a thoughtful,
factual account about this unspeakable tragedy. Walk with Justus as
he recounts a story that begins years before that fatal day and
extends well past the actual event. Experience the terror and
unfathomable aftermath with him and the other employees who were at
the Edmond Post Office on that fateful day.
