retrieve personal items outside of
business hours, but he shrugs aside
those cnores.
“In the course of the work, so-
meone may drop a loose check in the
mailbox and think they need to
retrieve it immediately,” he said.
“It’s all in the course of work of a
small town postmaster.”
Although the postal service has
named an “acting postmaster,” it
has not yet selected McFarland’s
permanent replacement, he said.
“Joe Rodriguez of Corpus Christi
will be the officer in charge in the in-
terim,” he said, adding, “because he
is the officer in charge there is no
way he can get the job of
postmaster.
“I do know this,” McFarland add-
ed. “Of the people in this office, only
Mrs. McDonald is eligible to apply
for the job and she isn’t interested,
so the position won’t go to a person in
this office, unfortunately. But it
could be anyone from Memphis to
Rio Grande City.”
McFarland said he will bow out of
office quitely.
“I’ll probably work 7 (a.m.) to 7
(p.m.) like I normally do,” he said,
adding that he will spend some time
acquainting Rodriguez with the local
office.
Finally, the postmaster said he
wanted to take the opportunity to
thank the community on his retire-
ment.
“I have a lot to be thankful for in
Portland,” he said. “I’m thankful to
the school district for providing a
good education to my three
daughters (two of which also work
for the postal service). I’m thankful
to the city for providing me this good
city to live in and I’m thankful to the
police department for providing pro-
tection to make this a safe city to
live in.
“I’m also thankful to 99 percent of
the people for being so nice these
past years,” he added. “The one per-
cent who have been animals I won’t
talk about.”
