The Mail, the Man, the Mentor
At his post. While Rod Toney goes about quietly doing his job, a few people have noticed how well he nurtures young people.
There are hundreds of people throughout Hopkins Medicine
who attend professional meetings. Most of the conferences
are, to be sure, medical. But there also is a thriving
sub- culture of employees at whose annual gatherings there's
nary a mention of diabetes, depression or risk management.
For them, the Johns Hopkins name can still pack a powerful
punch.
Rod Toney is a man with a slight build who toils in the
basement of the 2024 Building. His office has a minuscule
window high up near the ceiling that's protected with
iron bars. Even though he's spent the past 17 years working
at Hopkins, he is hardly known in every circle of the
hospital. But at the United States Postal Service, Toney
is a minor celebrity.

operation, but the challenges are big."

Rod Toney remains dedicated to his
career in an underappreciated field. People forget the 5,000
pieces of mail they get, he says, but they always remember
the one piece that didn't arrive on time. |
