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.

As a parent, I find it important to know the adults in my children’s lives, both in and out of school. Few adults can drop off a child in the morning, or pick them up in the afternoon and not be aware of certain people, especially one wearing a safety vest.

It’s certainly a rare thing to not be familiar with who Tim Closson is, and I find myself extremely impressed and appreciative of his efforts to assist our children as they cross the intersection in front of the Elementary School building each day.
