Winslow hangs up mail bag
Eldon Winslow has been
hoofing it around Hertford
since 1951, warding off dogs,
battling the elements, and
delivering the mail.
on Friday, Dec. 26,
Winslow clocked out of the
mail-carrying business for the
last time. After 29 years of
pounding the pavement, he
has decided to retire.
Although Winslow joked
about being "worn out," the
trim, 60-year old is anything
but. His secret for staying fit?
fcercise, of course. Winslow
id he has been walking since
be was 12 years old, delivering
everything from newspapers
and milk, to mail.
1 He seldom missed a day of
work due to illness, an
achievement that won him
membership in the "2,000
Hour Club," an honor
designating those postal
employees who have ac
cumulated 2,000 or more hours
of unused sick leave.
Winslow estimated that be
actually totaled some 2,500
hours of unused sick leave,
and said he often went to work
when feeling under the
weather. "You feel about as
good working as you do at
home," he theorized.
Although Winslow's years of
making the rounds have
allowed him to witness first
hand Hertford's changes, he
was reluctant to comment,
saying only that his route had
grown with the town, and that
urban renewal projects had
allowed for more housing.
The postal service has also
changed over the years, ac
cording to Winslow, becoming
"more business oriented than

patron oriented." Hertford
Post Master Henry Stokes
said Winslow's record as a
postal carrier was "one of the
best" in the region. "The
postal service is losing one
excellent employee." he
added.
What will Winslow do with
his newly-found free time?
After all those years of
walking and walking and
walking, you'd think a man
would be tired of walking. Not
Winslow, who said he planned
to continue his extensive
walks, as well as bird hunt,
garden, and "try to get some
fish out there in the river."
He also plans to stay busy
with the Perquimans County
Rescue Squad. Although he
retired from the squad earlier
this year, he said he decided to
go back when the number of
qualified Emergency Medical
Technicians on the squad had
dwindled.
As Winslow put it, "I'm not
retired ? I just quit carrying
the mail."
