Warner retiring after 38 years at Post Office

Merle Warner is retiring after working over 38 years with the US Postal Service as a Rural Carrier.

Warner delivered Route 1 which includes addresses south and west of Waterville as well as all rural Elysian addresses.

He was recently presented with a Million Mile Club plaque. The Postal Service joins with the National Safety Council to induct a select group of these drivers — who deliver on safety every day — into the Million Mile Club. “Club status” means that the revered Million Mile Award is rewarded to letter carriers, rural carriers and truck drivers, men and women, who have a safe attitude that entails driving for one million miles or 30 years without a  preventable incident.
