Denny Edinger sells his final postage stamp

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 3, 2016 - 3:19pm

When Bluffton native Denny Edinger starting working for the U.S. Postal Service you could buy a first-class stamp for a quarter and get three cents change.

That was 1986.

Denny, a fixture at the Bluffton post office stamp window, won’t be there tomorrow or Monday. On Friday he retired after 30 years with post office.

After three decades handling patron mail requests, you might guess that Denny can identify you by your street address.

“I see some people and suddenly can’t think of their name, but I know their address,” he said.
