Later, after being elected to the PARLCA State Board, I became a member of

the Erie District Joint Steering Committee (DJSC) and served as a Co-Chair
with Denise Marquis before retirement. I also served as the state editor of the
PARLCA Mail Bag for several years, even into retirement.

Harry and I are a true USPS family, having over 70 years of combined
service. I am enjoying my retirement and my grandchildren. Together, we

I am Lawrence (Larry) Hoeck and I served with the Post Office Department,

responsibility one level at a time. I would begin very early every morning
looking at the visibility data at the airports where our overnight product would

I am William R. McGinley a Veteran and I am pleased to share just a small

I started my essential Federal career in 1980 with the United States Postal

Service as a Rural Letter Carrier in Hummelstown, Pa. I joined my local
Union ASAP and with their advisement and guidance, I transferred in six
months to Mechanicsburg, Pa., as this was a faster growing area and Post

Office.

During those years to follow, I was a Rural Letter Carrier Academy Instructor

for six years, and I held the position of the local Union Steward, VP and
