Last Chance: Allentown Fair Ends Monday
Fair ends Labor Day with J&J Demo’s annual demolition derby

Hello, I'm a Forks Township resident who has lived here for two years. My parents and sister live around the corner from me and have lived in Forks for over a decade.
I'm 46 years old, married for 19 years to my college sweetheart. We both attended The University of Delaware. We also have a son, Joshua, who is 9.
I'm a long-suffering all Philadelphia sports fan. I consider myself a music historian, probably from the thousands of CDs I own, especially Classic Rock music. And, since I have an English major, I'm a book lover.
I've also worked in the newspaper business for 28 years, the past decade as editor of three newspapers. I've logged lots of time in Pennsylvania (Honesdale, Pottsville), Massachusetts and northern New Jersey.
I believe very strongly in community journalism and letting people know about the important issues and concerns about what's going on in their communities.
You need to be armed with the right information to make the best decisions for you and your family.
Please do not hesitate to say hello or drop me an email or a phone call. And I'd love any ideas you might have for making our site better and providing me with any story ideas and news tips about some of the interesting people and places in our communities.
