I didn't realize the barefoot mailman was a real person. There used to be a store (maybe part of a chain?) called The Barefoot Mailman, at Westland Mall in Hialeah, when I was growing up.
I knew about the "Barefoot Mailman" but was not aware of his gone missing. I'll have to read more about that. The Cuban Missile Crisis really hit home with me. I vividly remember outside at school,
far above our heads we began to see lines of fighter jets heading south. We had no idea that at that moment the island of Cuba was being surrounded by dozens of American warships. We did not yet know that, “What unfolded over the next two weeks was arguably the most dangerous period in the history of civilization.” [Cuba Confidential, the story of Juanita Moody; Smithsonian March, 2021].
