Frank Hosticka has a firm grasp of McHenry’s geography, down to the postal routes. He retired last summer after 16 years as postmaster in McHenry. Before that, Hosticka was a mail carrier and postal clerk, totaling 31 years with the U.S. Postal Service. 

Since retirement, Hosticka, 55, works as an independent associate for LegalShield, a network of law firms offering identity theft protection services.

He also has been busy networking as the membership director for the Wonder Lake Chamber of Commerce, a volunteer position to which he was appointed in November.
