Ness – Better late than never

The Aberdeen World posted this look back

March 16, 1993

Sue Ness has come a long way from the day 13 years ago when she applied for a temporary job at the Satsop Post Office.

The full-time mother of three boys just wanted “to get out of the house.”

On Monday, Mrs. Ness became the first female postmaster in Aberdeen history. She’s only the 16th person to hold the job since a post office was established here in 1884. Moreover, she’s probably the only native Aberdonian to ever attain the post.
