Everyone reacted differently to the U.S Postal Service's announcement. A UB professor talks about what his students' reactions were.

An article in USA Today about the proposal by the U.S. Postal Service to end Saturday deliveries, and the different reactions among older and younger people to the news, quotes David Gerber, professor of history. “There’s a difference between my students and me,” he said. “I don’t think they’re at all concerned about what’s in their mailboxes, unless they’re expecting a check or a summons.”
