Show Btf I. Man named Ogden Postmaster I f .. - i rr" .si' A ' iJV . WARREN PHILLIPS Warren S. Phillips, 42, of Bountiful, has accepted the appointment of Postmaster of Ogden, Utah and was formally for-mally installed and began work on Friday, May 7. A 19 YEAR veteran of the postal service, Mr. Phillips has been serving as manager of all Salt Lake area postal stations and branches since December of 1974. Upon his arrival on the job, Mr. Phillips made it his first duty to meet and shake hands with every employee then present. THE SELECTION of Mr. Phillips was announced by Robert S. Greenburg, postmaster post-master and manager of the multi-state Salt Lake City Postal District, of which Ogden Og-den is a part. Mr. Phillips was selected from among six candidates for the job who appeared before a national postal review board last month in Los Angeles. THE OGDEN Post Office has been without a regular postmaster since last June, when Gilbert L. Hicks was promoted to an Idaho postal position. A native of Salt Lake City and current resident of Bountiful, Boun-tiful, Mr. Phillips graduated from West High School and attended the U of U for three years on a Ford Foundation scholarship. HE JOINED the postal service ser-vice in August of 1957 as a mail clerk and held a variety of clerical posts until his promotion to the supervisory ranks in 1966 as Foreman of Mails. Mr. Phillips was made a customer services representative represen-tative in 1967, assistant manager of the Fairgrounds Stations in 1969 and was named manager of the Millcreek Branch Office in 1972. AFTER SPENDING nearly a year as district Equal Employment Opportunity officer of-ficer in 1974, Mr. Phillips was promoted to his recent position posi-tion in December of that year. Postmaster Greenburg, of SLC, said that manager positions posi-tions in the Salt Lake Area involve duties similar to those of postmasters in medium-size medium-size offices. MR. AND Mrs. Phillips, who have been residents of Bountiful for nearly ten years now are currently trying to balance the proposal of a move to Ogden with the scholastic needs of the three of their five children still living liv-ing at home. A son, Morton, is attending Trade Tech in the field of carpentry. Their daughter, Tamara. is going to the U of U with social work as her major and their daughter, Julia, is a junior at Bountiful High School and would very much like to finish and graduate from the high school. ANOTHER IMPORTANT aspect of Bountiful life for the Phillips family has been their joyful participation in the membership and growth of the United Church of Christ in Bountiful.
