I knew Mary since 1981 when I started work at the St. Petersburg Post Office in 1981. At that time, Mary was the clerk craft president of the local APWU and we both pounded on LSMs.
Later, Mary introduced me to Business Mail Entry in St. Petersburg and early in her career she transitioned to Postal Headquarters working in Business Mail Entry. Around 2004 Mary recommend me to a HQ detail working in the office of Mailing Standards where I finished my postal career 10 years later.
I will be forever grateful to Mary for her years of friendship, leadership and guidance and will forever miss her wit and unique sense of humor.
Rest in peace, Mary.
