Final delivery: The 123-mile trek that was a big part of Larry Hennings' routine six days a week for nearly 35 years came to an end last Friday. It was Hennings' last day as a rural mail carrier. Hennings began his postal career on Dec. 26, 1985, as a sub. A conversation with Bob Kluender, who was a rural carrier at the time, sparked his interest, and Helen Kuehl hired him.

His plans are to devote more time to his farming career and being with his wife, Rebecca, their two sons and two grandchildren.
