CASTOR REVIEW Friday, September 15,1978 Page7 Neighbors "Cec" MacNabb -- Overseeing the Morewood post office is right up Cecil Mac- Nabb's alley; he likes meeting people and enjoys a discussion. As postmaster in the Winches- ter Township hamlet since Cen- tennial year, Cec has presided over many '"'bull" sessions while dispensing stamps and sorting mail. Almost everyone who stops in for business purposes, lingers awhile to exchange views with the affable postmaster on the latest local developments. The post office is located in an old building owned by Mr MacNabb at the hamlet's main intersection. Other parts of the building serve as storage and asa refinishing workshop for the thriving MacNabb antique busin- ess.
