Leroy Brown might be considered the Vin Scully of the U.S. Postal Service.

Brown has been a mail clerk in Los Angeles for 68 years. Scully broadcast for the Los Angeles Dodgers for 67 years.

Brown, who turned 90 in August, said he still gets satisfaction from working and has no plan to retire.

Brown works 40 hours a week on the day shift at the Los Angeles International Service Center, which processes international mail and is located near Los Angeles International Airport.

Actually, Brown has 70 years of service to the federal government. Before he started his career at the post office, he served in the U.S. Army from 1953 to ’55.

In early November, the Postal Service honored him with a certificate and service coin for his 70 years of service to the federal government. It lauded him for his work ethic, positive attitude and, of course, for his dedication.

He said that when he was young, his mother sent him to trade school during summer vacation.

“I hated it, but I learned to type, do shorthand, bookkeeping and filing,” he said. “This gave me the skillset to do the work in the Army, and then in the post office.”

You are still working well past the age many people retire. Why?

It keeps me active. I like to be around people. I like to help people. I still can contribute to the organization.

Please describe the pleasure or satisfaction you get from working.

I get satisfaction from doing my job well, helping management with various tasks. I take pride in my job and helping people.

What’s the best part of working in your 80s or, in your case, in your 90s?

Having good relationships with the bosses and fellow employees. I have many good relationships with the people I work with.

And the worst?

Jobwise, there is no worst part. I have good communication with my peers and coworkers.

Have you slowed down on the job or are you still putting in the same number of hours as always?

No, I have not slowed down, I still work the same amount of hours.

Do you think you’ll ever retire?

No.

What advice would you give to someone who was weighing whether to continue working past retirement age?

If you are enjoying what you’re doing, keep working. Think of the ideas and lessons learned that you can pass on to the younger generation of co-workers.

If you had it to do all over again, knowing what you know now, what would you do differently in your career?

I would not want to do anything differently.

What’s one of the biggest lessons you learned from your time on the job?

I’ve tried to instill in the younger people the benefits of saving your leave. I have over 6,500 hours of sick leave and 500 hours annual leave. This is after I survived a ruptured appendix in 1958 and a bout with thyroid cancer in 1969. Don’t be your own doctor, get yourself checked out.
