Longtime Shoemakersville letter carrier Robert Oswald was honored Friday morning for 40 years of dedicated service with the United States Postal Service. The celebration, held at the Shoemakersville Post Office on Franklin Street, brought together colleagues, friends, and community members to recognize Oswald’s four-decade career, including 37 years serving the Shoemakersville area.
During the ceremony, Acting Post Office Operations Manager Al Tariq Franklin presented Oswald with a plaque and praised his commitment, calling him a “model employee” and highlighting his Million Mile Award for more than 30 years of safe driving. “If we could give you a statue, we would,” Franklin said. “This gentleman has been here for 37 years… he’s a piece of the community.”
