Unrelated history:

Allentown was originally named Northamptontown by its founder, Chief Justice of Colonial Pennsylvania's Supreme Court, William Allen. Allen, also a former Mayor of Philadelphia and successful businessman, drew up plans for the rural village in 1762. Despite its formal name, from the beginning, nearly everyone called it "Allen's town." Allen hoped Northamptontown would turn into a commercial center because of its location along the Lehigh River. The low water level most of the year, however, made river trade impractical. Sometime in the early 1770s, William Allen apparently gave the property to his son, James, who built a country home called Trout Hall after his father's hunting and fishing lodge. Even by the time of the American Revolution, Allentown remained little more than a small village of Pennsylvania Dutch, more properly German, farmers and tradesmen, but continued its development as a center of marketing for local farmers from the post revolutionary years into the 1820s. The U.S. Census of 1810 placed it at the heart of the largest grain producing regions in the country.

I thought this was the introduction of the Elect George Hopkins Mayor of Allentown campaign. Then the YEA chair would be vacant and George Dixon could step in. GH already socially communicates like certain politicians. ;-p

Let's get to the stands early to support this corps.  They made the trip and deserve the crowd that we can provide in Allentown.

I'll be there early with my traditional tail-gate across from the HAM-FAM.  Stop by and introduce yourself.  Greet me by my DCP name and you get a dog and a beer.  It would be nice to put faces with all of these names.:thumbup:
