Phelps and Associates, P.S.

For the last 39 years, Calvin Clarke has been a USPS mailman. For 38 of those years, he has walked the same Queen Anne route. ✉️

He will be retiring soon on Dec. 24.

Before his time in USPS, he worked several other jobs. 📮

"I've worked all my life since I was 8 or 9 years old," Clarke said. "I've been in the military. I've worked odd jobs just to make a living. I've took pride in every job I've had and I've tried to do it to the best I can."

He says his customers are why he has stayed on this route for so long. 💗

"I've met so many people up here on Queen Anne. I've treated everyone like they were family. I'm a people person."
