Cole Henry named Gueydan Postmaster

GUEYDAN – The next generation has arrived at the Gueydan Post Office with newly-appointed Postmaster Cole Henry, 25.
“My recent promotion is my most rewarding because it was my goal to become a postmaster when I first became employed," says Henry. "It is a dream come true to help and serve the American people."
Henry started his postal career in 2017 as a City Carrier Assistant in Jennings. He went on to become a regular carrier and a supervisor before being appointed postmaster.
Henry works with 12 employees. There are four rural routes, two city routes, the retail unit in Gueydan, and a remotely managed post office (RMPO) in Morse.
"I chose the Postal Service because I saw a great opportunity in a company serving the American people," says Henry.
"The Postal Service is constantly changing with its technology and always innovative to give our customers the best service possible," he says, explaining his reasons for applying to USPS. "Our change in scanner technology has been tremendous.”
"Gueydan employees are Delivering for America one piece of mail and one parcel at a time," says Henry. "A lot goes into our day-to-day operations, but I have learned through the years that taking one day at a time and completing the task at hand sets us up for success going into the next delivery day."
Henry and his wife Gracie live nearby with their dog Maxx. Henry says he enjoys hunting, fishing, and playing golf.
“I want to thank the Postal Service for this life-changing opportunity it has given me. After six years of hard work and dedication, I am living my dream as the Gueydan Postmaster," he says sincerely. "I have many years to go and cannot wait to see where this journey with the Postal Service takes me."
