As usual, Ralph Pontillo, the president of the Manufacturers' Association of Northwest Pennsylvania, has lined up an outstanding program for the 103rd Annual Event on June 18 at the Bayfront Convention Center. The event has been sold out every year. The Bayfront Center can seat 2,000 people. For this year, former White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, who seems to be doing quite well fighting cancer, will be the moderator. The two speakers will be Fred Thompson, the former Tennessee senator who ran for the Republican presidential nomination, and John Edwards, who ran a strong race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Edwards is a very good speaker. As of now, he has not endorsed a candidate. Snow, Thompson and Edwards will be here right in the middle of campaigning for the general election in November. It will undoubtedly be another sellout. The proceeds benefit the Manufacturers' Association Technical Education Fund and supports the Patrick R. Locco Scholarship and the John Tramontano Jr. Education Foundation.

We now have a choice to vote for:

Still 3 months away, but this is the first public appearance by Thompson I have read of since the campaign ended.

Hope all is well with the FredHead’s out there. I'm healing, but it is a slow process. Hearing FRED won't help, but I will listen anyway!
