At least we in Ann Arbor still have Loyd, the real-life post office employee who loves his job and is appreciated by many. Loyd , who worked until last Friday at the Nickels Arcade post office and will soon move to the new South University post office, is probably best-known for the Hershey Kisses that he doles out on Valentine's Day. Loyd said he genuinely enjoys his job. Sometimes I have too much fun to consider it work. Mark Fancher, a visiting clinical professor at the Law School, is a frequent customer at the Arcade office.
Henry is extremely helpful and friendly.
He's patient with all the people. He's the best example of why the bad rap that post office workers get is a myth. As Fancher pointed out, Loyd is a unique person. In addition to working in the Nickels Arcade post office, he also runs marathons. With more than 100 other postal employees from across America, he recently ran the Centennial Boston Marathon.
