TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Longest serving mail carrier in the country celebrates 70 years

There are only so many occupations where you can do the job into your 90s if you choose to.

A guy named Johnnie Bell from Oklahoma City is the country’s longest-serving mailman and just celebrated 70 years on the job. When he was first hired in the 1950s, he made $1.81 an hour!

He knows he can retire whenever he wants, but he said he still enjoys sorting and delivering the mail so he sticks around doing it. Congrats Johnnie! Here’s to even more years ahead.
