Odor noticer

Letter Carrier Georgeanna Graham was recently delivering mail in a Palmyra, NY, neighborhood when she detected an odor of gas outside a customer’s home.

Graham immediately knocked on the woman’s door and alerted her to the issue.

Utility workers soon discovered and repaired a gas leak at the address.

“The customer was very appreciative of Georgeanna’s concern and action, and she wanted her to be recognized for her potentially life-saving deed,” said Palmyra Postmaster Jillene Koeberle.


Employees featured in “Heroes’ Corner” also receive letters of commendation through the Postmaster General Heroes’ Program. The nomination form is available on Blue.
