Wayne Lynn Selmer, formerly of Skagway and Haines, passed away January 4, 2025, in Whitefish, Montana.
After his service, he returned to Skagway to work for the railroad and Standard Oil. Eventually he made his way to the United States Postal Service. He started as a clerk in the Skagway Post Office, moved to Haines to be the postmaster, and retired from the postal offices in Anchorage.
Wayne knew the people in Skagway and Haines by their post office box numbers. He prided himself in memorizing them all. He also liked to guess the weight of the letter or parcel you were mailing before he weighed it, and he even liked to guess the weight of your baby before weighing him/her on the postal scale!
