WOODRIDGE, NY (January 26, 2012) – After more than 50 years of service at the Woodridge Post Office, Doug Cauthers has retired.

Starting part time as a teenager, Doug turned the postal service into his career at the same office where his father, Harold Cauthers, worked for many years and was also Postmaster. 

Although Doug lives outside the Village limits, he has been an integral part of the Village community for all of these years. He is well versed on the history of the Village as well as the people, and over the years has become a part of the Woodridge “Family.”

The residents of the Village of Woodridge wanted to recognize Doug for his service to the community, so on Tuesday, January 17, the Village Board presented Doug with a plaque, naming him an honorary citizen of the Village, and designated January 18, 2012 “Doug Cauthers Day in the Village of Woodridge.”

The plaque reads: “Presented to Doug Cauthers in appreciation of your many dedicated years of service to the people of the Village of Woodridge. We thank you for your friendship and bestow upon you the title of "Honorary Citizen of the Village of Woodridge" and we designate January 18, 2012 as “Doug Cauthers Day.” Village Board Village of Woodridge
