Karen Pooley, Executive Director of Allentown's Redevelopment Authority, probably took a few hours off from work yesterday. She gave birth to Jace Elliot Pooley at 12:20 pm. He weighs in at 6 pounds 13 ounces, and is 20 inches long. Karen and Jace are both healthy. The proud father, Jeff Pooley, is an assistant professor of media and communication at Muhlenberg College. He encouraged both NewsOverCoffee and me when we both entered the blogosphere. Jeff also blogs with Pete Lewnes at Seventh Street Now. Jeff and Karen reside in downtown Allentown with daughter Keller, practicing what they preach.
Jace has already uttered his first word - Molovinsky.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Jeff is one of the best people in Allentown, a true believer and a true asset to the city. Congrats to him, his wife and his entire city!
