Link remembered Alex Trebek last week.
We covered the July 22 dedication ceremony for the stamp honoring the longtime “Jeopardy!” host, where his successor, Ken Jennings, praised the stamp’s design.
“It’s so appropriate that the stamp illustration commemorates Alex with a ‘Jeopardy!’ clue. He loved the game so much, and he always insisted the clues were the true star of the show,” Jennings said.
Link also spoke to USPS employees who met Trebek, including one who appeared on “Jeopardy!” as a contestant.
Additionally, we reported the Federal Flexible Spending Account Program has temporarily suspended enrollments because of recent fraudulent activity; covered the release of a Postal Service video on the organization’s new sorting and delivery centers; commemorated Benjamin Franklin’s appointment as the first postmaster general on July 26, 1775; and introduced you to the USPS pedal pushers who make deliveries by bicycle.
Other highlights included a “Heroes” column on Richard Bremini, a Gainesville, VA, rural carrier who saved a pet caught in a home blaze, and an “Off the Clock” profile of Ishé Smith, a Las Vegas letter carrier and former prizefighter who will soon be inducted into the Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame.
“There are special events, things that happen once in a lifetime, and this is truly an unforgettable blessing,” Smith said.
