Experienced mail carriers prioritize safety over heroism when dealing with snow
WORCESTER With more than 60 years of experience between them, two U.S. Postal Service letter carriers in Worcester say that safety is key when delivering mail when the snow hits.
Robert Cantwell, 58, and Paul Duquette, 65, have worked at the Worcester post office for over 30 years, Duquette will have his 35th work anniversary in March and Cantwell will have his 34th anniversary in March, as well.
Both have seen their fair share of snow on the job. Duquette said that the primary concern whenever they have to work when snow is on the ground is making sure that they protect themselves and steer clear from any potentially dangerous falls when carrying mail.
