To the Editor:

I and my wife, Eva, and family have lived in South Whitehall Township for 49 years.

I was encouraged to move here to build a neurology division by the late Leonard Pool, founder and CEO of Air Products and Chemicals, and founder of Lehigh Valley Hospital, because it was a “beautiful place to live and bring up a family.”

I founded that division, and had the privilege, along with my colleagues, to treat hundreds of patients with neurological issues across the Lehigh Valley.

I thus came to know Brad Osborne, as a neighbor, manager of a local chemical plant, South Whitehall Township commissioner, and Lehigh County commissioner.

In those roles I found him to demonstrate exemplary leadership, high ethics, creative thinking, fiscal responsibility, and transparency.

I am proud to endorse Brad’s candidacy to become a South Whitehall Township commissioner again, serving for a special two-year term, beginning in January 2022.

I hope that particularly those aware of his distinguished record, will likewise endorse and support his candidacy.
