WILKES-BARRE FOUNDER'S DAY @ 250

So very fortunate to be at tonight's Founder's Day Rooftop Celebration of Wilkes-Barre's 250th birthday. I've said many times that my memories are in Pittston but my heart and soul are in Wilkes Barre. 

The great Times Leader photographer Tony Callio took this great photo of the Wilkes-Barre City administration, from left to right, Administrator Rick Gazenski, Controller Darren Snyder, State Representative Eddie Day Pashinski along with Eryn Harvey from Senator Yudichak's office presenting my boss, Mayor Tony George with proclamations from the state, Councilmen Tony Brooks who gave a great introductory overview of our city's history, Council Chairman Mike Belusko and Special events coordinator Patricia Hughes. 

 I was greeted tonight by a founding father come to life by Mr. Mark Khan, a long time media buddy and historical re-enactor.

The event was superb as well as the company. Thanks again to Times Leader photographer Tony Callio for taking this photo. You've heard of "The Gilmore Girls?" Well these are the Goscieski Girls, daughters of WWII Veteran John Goscieski from Brookside. From left to right, Karel Zubris, me and Susan Nerbecki. 

Then this outstanding photo, (notice the river in the background) was taken by the aforementioned Karel of our City Controller Darren Snyder, me and his wife Attorney Kelly Bray Snyder.
