News driver retires after 57 years, 5 million deliveries

After nearly six decades and millions of
newspapers delivered, Mel Rulison has called it quits.
The 87-year-old retired last Sunday as a route driver for
The Leader-Herald, a 7,500-circulation daily afternoon
paper published in Gloversville, in New York's Mohawk
Valley.
The newspaper reports that Rulison delivered 220 to 300
newspapers a day, seven days a week for
57 consecutive years. That's more than 5 million papers
delivered during that span.
Rulison was working for his uncle's tannery when he took
on newspaper deliveries as an extra job in 1960. After the
tannery closed nearly 30 years ago he kept the delivery job,
spending three hours a day dropping off papers at homes
in a rural area 40 miles northwest of Albany.
On Monday, the newspaper threw Rulison a retirement
party, thanking him for his 57 years of dedicated service.
