Summary:	Mr. Boyarsky was a participant in Dr. Ed Perzel's Oral History Project of 1979, which encouraged older citizens, primarily over the age of 65, to share their memories and stories. Mr. Boyarsky begins his interview describing his role piloting a French Liberty plane during World War I when he was stationed in St. Jean du Montes. He gives a brief description of that early airplane. He goes on the explain his job after being injured, which was recruiting air service mechanics at Camp Greene in Charlotte, N.C. and returning to France with them. Mr. Boyarsky describes Camp Greene very simply: about 50,000 people and very muddy. He adds that the flu epidemic hit Charlotte in 1918 and resulted in many deaths, as evidenced by the number of coffins which filled the Southern train station waiting to be shipped north. Mr. Boyarsky relates how he began his postal career and was able to rise to Assistant Postmaster and Acting Postmaster. He acknowledges that the Postmasters were political appointees named by Congressmen. He continues that the original Post Office building was on the same site as the current building, but only had 10 rooms. He remembers three mail carriers covering the entire business district and two African Americans contracting to handle the rest of the deliveries with their horses and wagons. He recalls that the rural route began at the Sears Roebuck building on North Tryon Street. He explains that the mail came in on Seaboard and Southern trains, and some by air as well. Mr. Boyarsky describes Charlotte of 1919 as having a population of about 35,000 people, and having large buildings only at Trade and Tryon Streets. When asked by the interviewer if he remembered Billy Mitchell, Mr. Boyarsky replies that he remembered his advocacy for an air force and that he was fired for his opinion.  Read more...
