Testimonials
Richard Thayer has helped me craft many articles that I have written for The North Carolina Letter Carrier. With his expertise in writing and editing, I’m sure you’ll be well pleased with his work. ~ Timothy L. Greene, Delegate-at-Large and Legislative Liaison for the North Carolina State Association of Letter Carriers.
As Vice President of the North Carolina State Association of Letter Carriers, I have many duties, one of which is writing quarterly articles for the state newsletters. The assistance he has provided as editor has been greatly appreciated in helping get valuable information into the hands of our members ~ Wayne Green, NCSALC Vice President.
Many people can speak clearly to get their point across, but few can put their words on paper in a way that makes readers both understand and feel their message. Richard has done exactly that in his interviews with me about the USPS Employee Assistance Program, helping our postal family see the program’s value to them and their families. Don’t just take my word for it—read his work and see for yourself; you won’t be disappointed. ~ Luther Jones, Retired USPS, Chairman GSO EAP DAC Committee
