On Monday, the Postal Service recognized Stephen Blair, Boy Scouts of America Barefoot Mailman Hike Coordinator, for the outstanding job he does every year putting together the hike and coordinating the special pictorial postmark that gets put on the mail the hikers carry throughout their two day journey.
Mr. Blair was presented with a framed stamp enlargement of the Scouting stamp during their round table meeting attended by leaders from the BSA Hurricane District. Miami Customer Relations Coordinator Rose Castro gave a brief history of the Barefoot Mailman, on behalf of Miami Postmaster Robert Carr, presented Mr. Blair with a stamp enlargement.
Over 3,590 pieces of First-Class Mail received the special postmark.
