When asked about their secret to staying safe, Postmaster Sherry Hughes replied, “Most of my carriers have been here a long time. They are very alert to their surroundings.”
Hughes also emphasized the cooperation that occurs in their facility. “We’re on the buddy system out here: if we see somebody doing something unsafe, we tell them, and if we see anyone lifting something that might be too heavy for them, we all jump in and help.”

Together, in the holiday spirit, they all decided to split the funds between two needy families in their town. "We're telling the families that the money is to be used only to celebrate Christmas," said Hughes. Everybody could use a buddy like the ones in the Hope Hull group. What a thoughtful gesture to your community! Happy holidays, and we wish you many more accident-free years to come. |
