This is quite amazing...Mrs. Eileen O'Krafka is a 92 year old Canadian Postmaster...She took over the job after her husband retired..She has been doing the job since 1985 (34 years).

This is truly fantastic...I wrote her a letter admiring her service....I know postmasters do not usually commit themselves to such things as ""signed covers""..Her family contacted me to advise me she was signing a cover for me...I feel privileged...This was as i know, the first request and she agreed to do me the honour...

The first and only signed cover from Canada's oldest living postmaster...The first signed cover and the last signed cover.
