Doug Cauthers, a Lifetime of Service

Doug Cauthers and Mayor Louis Saperstein

Harold Cauthers was the Postmaster at the Woodridge Post Office for many years. His son, Doug Cauthers, began working there part time as a teenager and turned it into his career. Now, after more than 50 years of service at the Woodridge Post Office, Doug Cauthers has retired. Doug lives outside the Village limits, but was an integral part of the Village community for all of these years. He is well versed on the history of the Village as well as the people and over the years has become a part of the Woodridge “Family."

The residents of the Village wanted to recognize Doug for his service to the community. On Tuesday, January 17, the Woodridge Village Board presented Doug with a plaque, naming him as an honorary citizen of the Village, and designating January 18, 2012 as Doug Cauthers Day in the Village of Woodridge. The plaque reads: “Presented to Doug Cauthers in appreciation of your many dedicated years of service to the people of the Village of Woodridge. We thank you for your friendship and bestow upon you the title of "Honorary Citizen of the Village of Woodridge" and we designate January 18, 2012 as 'Doug Cauthers Day' Village Board Village of Woodridge.” Congratulations, Mr Cauthers!
