50 years of service: Bourbonnais postal carrier enjoys delivering mail

Those residents on Ron Wisniewski’s mail route may be shocked to know he has been delivering mail for 50 years.

Wisniewski can even be counted as one of those who finds that fact hard to grasp.

Wisniewski of Bourbonnais, was a mere 19 when he started carrying a mailbag working his job at the Bourbonnais United States Postal Service office on Sept. 13, 1974.

This year marks 50 years since he began.

“I find it hard to believe it has been 50,” he freely admitted.

The 69-year-old Wisniewski was born and raised in Kankakee, but has always worked in Bourbonnais.
