Darling Darla



Venice Custodian Darla White (left) is known for keeping the lobby looking great and spreading good cheer among customers. Little did she know how important her fine qualities would be to one customer who visited the Post Office just three days before she was leaving on a trip to England.  While cleaning the lobby White discovered a wallet near the Self Service Kiosk (SSK) that included an ID, credit cards and nearly $600 in cash.  Postmaster Kevin Sullivan (right) telephoned the customer to deliver the good news that her wallet and contents were at the Post Office. 



The customer told Sullivan she was devastated when she discovered she lost her wallet and contents (above).  It contained all of her money and the ID she needed for her airplane trip to Europe. “The customer quickly arrived at the Post Office to pick up her belongings.  She had tears in her eyes and was so thankful that she began giving out hugs,” said Sullivan.  “Darla is a great employee and her integrity does not surprise me.  She definitely made this customer’s holiday season memorable.”

Thank you, Darla, for being a positive role model.
