As we await next weeks election, I want to touch on the times I worked at the Whitehall elections polls with Mike Fabik and his gang. Besides Mike it was his wife Ginny, Joyce Sterner, my mom and John.
I worked at Whitehall's 4th district in Fullerton. I did this while I was a student at Cedar Crest and at Clarion.
My job as Majority clerk, I had to put each elector's name in the big black book. Not too bad, but for ten hours straight, it became a bit tedious; however, I was paid for my efforts, but taking the day off from work didn't make up for it.
I enjoyed meeting all the neighbors in my community and the camaraderie of us poll workers. Mike always made me laugh and I do miss him.
By working at the polls, I feel I did my civic duty and now its time for others to take up the bat and do the same.
