Twenty-seven years of service at the Diagonal post office came to an end recently for Richard (Dick) YASHACK. YASHACK retired after serving as postmaster in Diagonal since April 15, 1953. Judy BERRY of Creston is serving as officer in charge until a new postmaster is appointed.

YASHACK, who ran a cabinet shop in Diagonal for five years before becoming postmaster, plans to work on cabinets as part of his leisure time after retirement. A Diagonal resident since 1933 when his family moved to Diagonal from Mount Ayr, he and his wife, Marjorie, have three children: Mrs. Marilyn WERNER of rural Shannon City, Jan FORD for rural Ellston, and Shelley YAHSACK of Waukee. A son, Ronald Allen, was killed in Vietnam in 1969.
