Two million miles of safe driving. And that's just the beginning.

Now this is some kind of story. I'll be telling Mrs. Benny about this tonight when she complains about how I drive the buggy.

Dwayne Raskey started his postal career in Brainard, NE, on Mar. 27, 1959 after two years of serving his country in the Marines. He was a rural carrier associate on the route from 1959 to 1980.

In 1980, after 21 long years, he finally got his own route -- a 92 mile doosey.

But catch this. He's never had an accident in his 50 years of service and recently received the 2 million mile award from the National Safety council.

On top of that, Dwayne hasn't used even a single day of sick leave -- that's going back 50 years!

He walks to work everyday and often rides his bicycle on the trail from Brainard to Valparaiso in the summer which is at least 9 miles.

This is one SUPER CARRIER.. !!! Want to send him a good word? Click here.
