It's a depressed area, would be good for him to speak there AND my parents would love to see him. I just posted in another thread they've registered as Democrats for the first time in their lives so they can vote for him. I'll let them know they'll have to drive up the road to State College on Sunday if they want to see him. :hi:

Bummer. And we have a baby for him to kiss.
