Link began last week in retrospective mode.
We reviewed the most memorable “On the Job” stories of the year, as well as the best photographs we published.
Additionally, we took a final look at the holiday season with special editions of our “People” and “News Quiz” features, and in our “History” column, we flashed back to Jan. 4, 1982, when USPS introduced E-COM, an early twist on email.
It was also a week for news about finances — both organizational and personal.
We reported on the Postal Service’s new penny-rounding policy for retail cash transactions and told you that the USPS Commuter Program will allow participants to set aside up to $340 a month for transit and up to $340 a month for parking, tax-free this year.
Additionally, we published our annual calendar that shows the Postal Service’s paydays for 2026.
Finally, our “Heroes” column turned a spotlight on Sydney Billingsley, a Dayton, OH, letter carrier who came to the aid of a man who had been shot multiple times.
Jeffrey Mims, Dayton’s mayor, later acknowledged the Postal Service employee’s heroism and proclaimed a “Sydney Billingsley Day” in her honor.
Email us your feedback. Your comments could be included in our “Mail” column.
