Link reminded readers last week that hurricane season is here, and USPS is stressing the importance of employees updating their contact information on file with the organization.
We took a deep dive into the latest dog bite statistics and shared news of the Postal Service’s new multiyear contract with DHL eCommerce and of Matt Connelly being named chief solutions and strategy officer.
We also offered a wrap-up of the five stamp dedications that were held last month at the Boston 2026 World Expo. One of them was Postcrossing, whose unusual shape prompted a look at other triangular stamps released by the Postal Service.
The winner of the first-ever Stamp Encore contest, 2018’s Mister Rogers stamp, was also revealed at the expo. USPS released a new video exploring both the contest and the stamp and in “People,” Mark Wahl, a USPS strategic communications specialist and native of Pittsburgh, explains how his media promotion of the contest helped spark a pro-Rogers-stamp movement in his hometown.
“On the Job” spotlighted Matthew McEachern, a website developer in Salt Lake City who supports the organization’s Workforce system, and we shared a cautionary tale from the USPS Office of Inspector General about a Toledo, OH, letter carrier sentenced to two years in prison for helping move illegal narcotics through the mail.
Finally, in “Heroes,” Letter Carrier Amanda Schneider was delivering mail in Monmouth, IL, when she came across a customer who had fallen near her front door.
The postal employee and a neighbor got the woman to her feet. “The customer is doing fine, thanks to Amanda,” Monmouth Postmaster Jill Sollenberger said.
