Once completed, we will immediately resume delivery to the units, Inglett said in a statement.Fitzmorris said no one from the post office had ever told tenants and owners that it was the condominium complexs responsibility until Thursday. Her landlord even received a call from a maintenance worker at the local post office saying the mailbox would be repaired last month.But nothing happened.Fitzmorris landlord, who is a member of the homeowners association board, checked the complexs documents and cross-checked with property management.She found no records showing any HOA ownership of the mailbox.Fitzmorris and her neighbors are not convinced it is their responsibility.KMBC has requested that the postal service provide documentation of who owns the mailboxes.Inglett said he would get back to KMBC on Friday regarding the issue.I just want my box fixed so I can come down and get my mail every day, Fitzmorris said.KMBC will work toward a resolution in this case.If you have a tip about issues or concerns with the USPS and mail delivery, email investigates@kmbc.com.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Dorchester is celebrating a milestone year for Mike Joyce.The clubs senior vice president of operations has been serving local families through his work at the club for 45 years.President and CEO Bob Scannell called him a legend.No one works harder, Scannell said. He doesn’t tire somehow. We’re always amazed.”Joyce was 16 when he took a summer job at the club and never left. “The organization’s been around for a total of 50 years. Mike’s been here for all but five of those years, Scannell said. It tells you a lot about him and his dedication.”Tome Barros said he felt that dedication. He came to the club to play basketball as a kid, he said Joyce helped him find much more.”He just had a way of making you feel like this was your home,” Barros said.A home where Joyce encouraged Barros to contribute.”Mike asked me to paint the Boys and Girls Club one summer, Barros said. I said, No way. I’m not doing that, (I) just come here to play ball Mike. That’s it.”But Barros said Joyce was persuasive. Barros did paint the club, and said he developed a passion for giving back. He is now manager of community engagement for the Boston Celtics.”I take great pride in doing my job and making sure that I’m in the community every day, Barros said. I still live about a block from here where I grew up, and it means a lot to me to be on the other side now.””It’s nice to see that progression of alumni who are now coming back,” Joyce said.Joyce is low key about the incredible contributions hes made over the years.”There’s opportunities that may come your way that you just know are invaluable to the kids, so you take it on,” he said.When Joyce started in 1979 there was just one club location with about a thousand kids.There are three locations now, serving about 4,000 kids, and a state of the art fourth location is in the works.”I credit Mike for his stability and bringing all of us along and giving us the confidence that we can do more,” Scannell said.Video: Father of youngest Boston Marathon Bombing victim talks about work on Fieldhouse
