50th Merit Mark Celebration!

50 Merit Mark Celebration

 

Dec 6, 2018

At our recent AGM in Ottawa I received my 50th Merit Mark, and was really overwhelmed by the reception this got from my CPS-ECP friends. I had hardly realized as the years went by, that they were adding up to this event, and it really proved to be a fun and happy occasion. Thanks to everyone who joined in the celebration, and in the gift I was presented with. Special thanks to Pauline Wettlaufer and Nancee Adams for their extreme thoughtfulness, and to USPS friend Jane Malatak for giving such a helping hand. I couldn’t be more appreciative, and more certain that the time spent with you all in our Organization was and is the most valuable to me.

Thanks so much, Doreen Hinksman

I reach for the VHF to radio the lockmaster in charge of Erie Canal’s Lock 32 dead ahead. Our boat spins gently in the current like a maple key in a mud puddle.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
