Thanks to employees' hard work on on-time delivery of mail, newspaper during Hermine storm

Tropical storm Hermine’s approaching rain bands turned Bradenton roads into a series of flooded areas. A Manatee County deputy and others joined together to push a stranded motorist from the flooded streets of U.S. 41.

I want to take this opportunity to thank our faithful postman. I only know him by Tony, and our faithful newspaper deliverers, Paula and Terry Hawkins, for delivering our mail and the Bradenton Herald every day during the storm, Hermine.

We really appreciate their service and rely on it every day.
