HONORING STEPHEN M. CULPOVICH'S SERVICE
______
HON. CHELLIE PINGREE
of maine
in the house of representatives
Friday, February 26, 2021
Ms. PINGREE. Madam Speaker, today we honor Stephen M. Culpovich, who is retiring after serving Maine communities as a Postmaster for three decades.
Steve has dedicated his career to public service, serving in the U.S. Air Force before working twenty-two years as a Postmaster in Round Pond, then eight years in Rockport. As a public servant, Steve continuously went above and beyond, greeting each customer with a smile and good cheer.
Steve's retirement today is all the more remarkable because he originally intended to retire in March 2020. But as the world fell into chaos due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Steve made the courageous decision to stay on the job. Even though it meant working long days, a daily two-hour round-trip commute, and risking his safety, Steve refused to abandon his community during the most uncertain days of the pandemic.
It is because of people like Steve that Maine has a reputation for being ``the way life should be.'' Our state is a much better place because of his vital work and his ability to form deep and trusting relationships with the people of Midcoast Maine. As he moves onto his next adventure, I wish him all the best.
