To say John Bromstead of Covina has logged a lot of miles is an understatement.
After 40 years as a letter carrier based in Glendora with the U.S. Postal Service, Bromstead finally retired on July 31st.
But not before he was honored as a member of the National Safety Council Million Mile Club, and bestowed the Million Mile Award.
“I didn’t realize I had that many miles,” said Bromstead, now 60, who began full-time at age 20.
“I started younger,” he said, working temporary shifts with the USPS. “I was doing that during high school, just during the summer and during Christmas time.”
“When I turned 20, they called me for a career position, so I interviewed in Glendora and got the job,” he said, never looking in the rearview mirror and happier than ever for many lifelong friends he made among both coworkers and customers.
