Theodore Postmaster Jackie Hughey-Miles had this to say about Wayne:

"Wayne has been an asset to the Theodore Post Office with his many years of dedicated service, excellent leave record and his quirky personality. He is dependable, blessed with a good attitude and brings laughs and smiles to his co workers.

Wayne's hobbies include running, biking and riding his motorcycle. He also enjoys concerts and group activites."

When we called Wayne to ask him his secret to achieving such an impressive driving record, we immediately understood what Jackie meant when she said the he keeps them laughing in Theodore. "It's pure luck," he said. "I'm not a good driver. I've had so many close calls."

But the key to what has kept him accident free was revealed in what he added next. "I'm always looking out for all of the crazy people. I'm all about defensive driving."

Congratulations to Wayne for his well-deserved Award of Honor, and Postmarks thanks Jackie Hughey-Miles for submitting the information and picture.
