A very special delivery: UPS driver brings companionship, kindness to Buckhannon native battling ALS - My Buckhannon
Each day, Buckhannon native-turned-Morgantown resident Seth Poling looks forward to the familiar sight of a large brown truck with yellow lettering pulling up in front of his home.
And whether the UPS driver is delivering a package to Seth Poling’s home or not, he knows his friend, UPS delivery driver Ben McGill, will stop by to say hello and check to make sure he is doing well and see if he needs anything.
Seth and Ben met while both were in middle school and attended a summertime football camp for quarterbacks in Braxton County. Years later, they reconnected when they played football at Fairmont State University. And after Seth married his wife, Erika, and moved to the Morgantown neighborhood, Brookhaven, in 2016, the couple discovered that Ben was their UPS driver. They reconnected again, and Ben would stop by for an occasional visit.
