Mysel Appointed Monrovia Postmaster
When Robert Mysel took on a job as a letter carrier in 1966, a lifetime career was the last thing he had in mind. The Occidental College freshman just needed a job to pay his way through school, and he worked his Eagle Rock route every weekend and holiday.
But he stayed on after graduating with a political science degree, even passing up an entry-level administrative job offer from the city of Glendale.
Twenty-three years after entering the Postal Service, Mysel has been appointed postmaster of Monrovia and will begin work Monday.
His transfer follows 14 years as human resources director at the Pasadena Post Office, where until August he was in charge of personnel at 13 post offices.
Mysel’s position was eliminated during a nationwide Postal Service reorganization this summer, according to spokesman John Conte.
Mysel will be responsible for all postal operations in Monrovia, serving a population of about 35,000 with a budget of $3 million.
He replaces Joyce Steele, who became postmaster of Arcadia six months ago.
