Theresa Knowles’ presence on her mail route represents life before the inferno, a glimmer of normality.
, many of the conversations Knowles has with her customers go something like this one.
Out of the 832 homes Knowles delivered to before the fire, 106 remain standing. She knows which customers have moved back and who checks their mailboxes regularly. Many of the brick mailboxes survived the fire even if the homes did not. And these days there are more people around, people like Janet Thorup, who is puttering around outside her sage green Victorian home on Puddle Duck Court. The women say hello to each other, and Thorup tells Knowles that she’s here to feed the feral cats, wild turkeys and a buck that have taken up residence on her property since the fire. The buck ate her roses and scraped the bench on her porch with his antlers. “He must be rutting,” Thorup says.
Knowles wasn’t sure at first whether she still wanted to live here. She and her husband, Allen, toured a house for sale in nearby Forest Ranch just after the fire. It was beautiful, but it wasn’t home.
