My Father
Postal Worker Tribute
MY FATHER, HARRY DAVID KERNER WORKED FOR THE POST OFFICE FOR OVER 35 YEARS. HE WORKED AT IDLEWILD AIRPORT, LATER KENNEDY AIRPORT. HE STARTED AT BUILDING #179. THEN, EVERYBODY WENT TO ANNEX #2. ALL THAT TIME HE WORKED TOUR #1. THERE WERE TIMES THAT HE DID CONVOY DUTY FROM JFK TO GPO IN MANHATTAN. HE SAID THAT HE ENJOYED DOING THAT. OF COURSE, HE LEFT HIS GUN AT WORK. THIS JOB BECAME A FAMILY AFFAIR. HIS TWIN BROTHER, MURRAY,WAS ALSO A MAIL HANDLER. HARRY’s WIFE,MY MOTHER VIOLA KERNER AND I WERE CLERK-CASUALS DURING THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. HE WAS SO PROUD OF HIS JOB,THAT WHEN THE TIME CAME, THAT HE WANTED TO CONTINUE TO WORK. SO, THAT’S THE STORY OF MY FATHER, HARRY DAVID KERNER, MAIL HANDLER, US POST OFFICE.
