I began working for the Postal Service in August 1971.  I worked until August 1972.  I left and went to college and the U.S. Army.  I returned in the Spring of 1981.  I worked as a letter carrier until 1984.  At that time, I became a maintenance employee.  I moved up to Electronic Technician.  I decided to move to Building Mechanic.  In the Summer of 2004, I became a 204-B and in December 2004, I became Supervisor, Maintenance Operations.  I worked in Labor Relations for approximately 2 years and ultimately returned to my supervisor position.  I retired on October 1, 2010.  I had a wonderful career and I do not understand why other departments are so hostile toward one another.  In November 2008, I became President of Branch 131 of NAPS.  My second term ends in November 2012.
