Marianna Loses Postmaster

Marc Reed Leaving Postmaster Position in Marianna Due to Transfer

By Sid Riley

Marc Reed transferred to the Marianna Post Office in July of 2007 as Postmaster. He came here from the Douglas, Georgia post office where he was the Postmaster. A Ft. Walton Beach native, and 37 year employee with the Postal System, Marc Reed wanted the job in Marianna because his son Seth Reed and wife had moved here with their young daughter, and Mark wanted to be near them. Seth is an executive manager with the Zaxby’s corporate organization.

When the Marianna Postmaster job became available, Marc quickly applied for the position. All was well until a few weeks ago when Reed discovered that through an administrative process within the postal system, he had been "bumped". He is now regretfully transferring back to Douglas, Georgia.

Marc wants to be near his granddaughter as she develops and grows into a Christian adult. If another opportunity occurs for him to return to Marianna, he will grasp it. Otherwise, after retirement from the Post Office, like Arnold he says, "I’ll be back!"
