Students at Millard Elementary School in Fremont, CA, recently received instruction on the ABCs of USPS.
Newark, CA, Letter Carrier Suttinee Sajjayakorn and Hataipat Therdsteerasukdi, a retail associate in Hayward, CA, helped the children write letters to loved ones and practice addressing envelopes.
The youngsters also learned how to assemble a small Priority Mail Flat Rate box.
Sajjayakorn and Therdsteerasukdi said the feedback from the students was positive and that helping them understand more about USPS was a rewarding experience.
Take him out to the ball game
Michael Casiano, a retired mail handler, knows a thing or 10,000 about baseball.
During the sixth inning of a doubleheader game between the New York Mets and the Colorado Rockies, Casiano was recognized for attending his 10,000th ball game with a message on the stadium’s video board: “Congrats on MLB game 10K, King Mike Casiano.”
A lifelong resident of New York City, he started attending New York Yankees games with his father in 1963 when he was 10 years old.
In the 1970s, Casiano decided to attend every Mets home game and said his overnight shift as a mail handler allowed him to attend afternoon and evening games.
Over the years, Casiano has become well-known to Mets fans and the online groups Stadium Journeyers and Ballpark Chasers. He’s followed the team to games in Puerto Rico, Japan, England, Australia and Mexico.
“It’s just something I like to do. I love going to baseball games,” he said.
