America’s longest-serving mailman just celebrated 70 YEARS on the job. His name is Johnnie Bell, and he’s worked in Oklahoma City his whole career. He’s in his early 90s now. And when he started in the 1950s, he made $1.81 an hour.
He still sorts and delivers mail and could retire whenever he wants. But at his party on Friday, he said he sticks around because he still enjoys the work.
