Postal Facility Named for Two Anthrax Victims
The central mail processing center for the nation’s capital was renamed in honor of two workers killed by anthrax-laced letters that were on their way to Capitol Hill.
Hundreds of postal workers and their families gathered at the Joseph Curseen Jr. and Thomas Morris Jr. Processing and Distribution Center for the dedication and reception. For many, it was their first time at the sprawling building on Brentwood Road since it was closed.
Curseen, 47, of Clinton, Md., and Morris, 55, of Suitland, Md., were among 2,500 employees at the facility at the time of the anthrax attacks.
