MCAA Inducts Goodman Into HOF

By Vincent Brennan

The MCAA Business Meeting came to an end with the induction of Bill "Mr. Courier" Goodman into the Courier Hall of Fame. Presenter Gil Carpel introduced Goodman, who has served the industry for more than 60 years. Goodman worked in the courier business for more than 62 years before retiring in 1989. He still stays involved in the New York State Messenger and Courier Association by serving as the executive director.

Several speakers congratulated Goodman during events taking place over the course of the weekend. Many credited him with being a pioneer of the industry.

"I hope I'll be a worthy member of the Hall of Fame," Goodman told the crowd after a standing ovation. "And I'm not giving up ... I'll see you guys next year."
