Rural Carrier Associate Lucas Wight really got into the spirit of Independence Day.
Wight arrived for a shadow day with Maple Falls, WA, Postmaster Michael Hinkle dressed as George Washington, complete with powdered wig.
“He surprised us,” Hinkle said of the unexpected uniform. “None of us knew.”
Luckily for Wight, the weather cooperated, topping out at around 75 degrees in the small Washington burg. “After that, it heated up to 90,” the postmaster said.
Hinkle appreciated the lighthearted touch Wight brought to the day, adding, “he’s a character.”
Indeed.
