Although it had been several years since this reporter visited the United State Post Office (USPS) in the Town of Pulaski, it was a pleasant surprise to be greeted by the tall man in the window who said, “Welcome! It’s been a while since you were here. Ms. Reid, right?”
It was astonishing that USPS Clerk Steve Carpenter remembered my name. We had moved our P. O. Box delivery to the Dublin location a few years prior because it was more convenient to our home and pattern of business.
Carpenter’s co- worker, Samantha Daubach, chuckeled as she explained, “Steve remembers everyone’s name. And that’s a lot of names to remember over his 31-year career with the Post Office.”
On Wednesday, April 30th, Carpenter left his postal window and retiried; so the responsibility of remembering Pulaski Post Office patrons’ names will be in the capable hands of other Pulaski USPS employees.
