| DA John Morganelli with Pat Tallarico, Lasso's mother-in-law |
Today, Bethlehem police hosted a 5k in Lasso's honor. Over three hundred runners - many of them from the law enforcement community -participated. Some brought their dogs, or pushed babies in strollers.
One bottom-feeding blogger ran, too.
Having years of experience running from cops, I expected to win. But my grandson's dog, Suki, kept slowing me down.
The little mutt couldn't keep up.
On top of that, two NorCo deputies had keeled over in the final mile. So I had to sling them over my shoulders and finish the race with them and the dog.
When I crossed the line, DA John Morganelli was standing there, grinning. He had beaten me by two minutes. So had Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan.
But Hizzoner's pretty daughter beat us all.
The overall race winner, I believe, was Freemansburg Mayor Gerald Yob. He ran in his suit.
The big hit at this race?
The mounted police, of course. Pharo was eating up all the attention from kids and moms.
The Two Mayors:

| John Callahan and winner Gerald Yob! He didn't even break a sweat! |

| I ran the frickin' race, while fleabag Pharo took it EZ. |

Anon 12:43,
your dislike of the mayor has obviously blinded you to the real reason for this run. shame on you for so selfish and petty.
callahan is the finest public servant in the county.
Super turnout, thanks for participating!
It was a blast! Can't believe Mayor Yob won.
Great cause, great effort by Suki!
Nice turn out!
Saw the Express Times article! Nicely done!
Nice article in ET. BP will run one next Wednesday.
Johnny Casino will run for votes anywhere in the County.
Thank you so much for writing about this wonderful event! The humor you added to it was a joy to read! Just one correction for you, Officer Lasso's End of Watch was August 11th, not August 8th.
I will correct that right now.
