Last week, Link told you about a special delivery coming to Post Offices around the country: A kit to help retail employees celebrate the organization’s 250th anniversary.
The Eagle in Flight anniversary graphic appears on most of the items in the kit, which includes a “Proudly Delivering for 250 Years” door decal listing holiday closures and a poster featuring the limited-edition 250th anniversary stamps among its offerings.
We also reported on the retirement of Scott Bombaugh as chief technology officer and the appointment of Gary Reblin to take over the role on an acting basis, and the ratification of a new American Postal Workers Union contract that will run through Sept. 20, 2027.
And in “Heroes,” Letter Carrier Mark Chetnik grew concerned when he didn’t see an older customer, “Larry,” out and about as usual during his deliveries in the village of Clinton, NY.
Chetnik didn’t have contact information for the 82-year-old, so he turned to the local library, which got in touch with Larry’s childhood friend. The friend found a badly dehydrated Larry lying on the floor of his home, clinging to life.
“If it weren’t for Mark, I’m afraid Larry may have laid there for days or longer — and there would have been a much more tragic outcome to this story,” said Clinton Postmaster Justin Gray.
