When Michelle and Jefferson Oxford first met in 1979, it was like a tiger meeting a maniac.
Michelle was dressed as a tiger the first time they met — it was her high school mascot in Nebraska. Jefferson’s central Idaho high school’s mascot was known as the maniac.
It wasn’t for another two and a half years until the pair would meet again, beginning a journey of navigating family life and the workforce as both employees of the postal service.
