Ira Mohr Recognized for 50 Years of Service


     Lead Sales & Service Associate (LSSA) Ira Mohr was recognized for 50 years of service with a breakfast ceremony at Grand Central Station.
     District Manager Bill Schnaars, Manhattan Postmaster Bob Brown and Mgr. HR Vanessa Duncan-Smith joined Grand Central Mgr. Kenneth Stanley in presenting Mohr with a Letter of Appreciation, a 50-year Pin and a framed sheet of stamps depicting his image.
Mohr, who started as a Grand Central Distribution & Window Clerk in 1964, is also known as the “Postmaster of the United Nations Post Office”––a title he earned while working there for 18 years.
“His customers were very fond of him,” said Stanley. “Ira made my job as Manager easier because if there was an issue at the U.N. Post Office, he would always find a way to resolve it on his own.”
“Ira is one of our most knowledgeable SSAs,” said Supv. Elizabeth Corbet. “He has been a real asset to the organization.”
     Though 50 years seems like a really long time for most people, Mohr––who is currently assigned to Grand Central Finance––has no immediate plans to retire.
“A lot of my friends are retired, but I not going anywhere yet,” smiled Mohr.
