The USPS National Dog Bite Awareness Campaign is underway, and Link kicked off the month with two relevant stories.

First, we published statistics on where dog attacks are most prevalent, followed by a “Heroes” column on Butler, PA, Postmaster Anthony Kriley and Jamie Stevens, a letter carrier, who came to the aid of a customer being attacked by a dog.

Link also told readers about this summer’s wellness challenge, offered cyber-reminders on the importance of using strong passwords and frequently rebooting ACE computers, examined the finer ethical points of accepting gifts, and announced the release of the organization’s latest U.S. Flag stamp on June 7, one week before Flag Day.

Finally, “Off the Clock” spotlighted Mary Hulshouser, a Fort Worth, TX, retention operations specialist who takes award-winning photos of nature in her free time, while “On the Job” told the story of Derrick Milling, an IT client support manager who provides tech support at USPS headquarters in Washington, DC.

“There is always something to do,” Milling said. “There is always something to monitor. There’s always a new project. I love it.”
