They made jobs. I know three guys that work on Butz's helicopter that would not have these great jobs without his brains and strong leadership. I don't know if Eichelburger has his own helicopter, but if he does, he deserves it. You don't find many men who can afford their own copters. Don't condemn those who create jobs.steelbreastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-83619930543291264292011-07-16T12:09:54.317-04:002011-07-16T12:09:54.317-04:00I wonder, if Wisdom and not Money was the qualific...I wonder, if Wisdom and not Money was the qualification for leadership in the Lehigh Valley, if we would have the "leaders" we do?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-52629766716452191282011-07-16T12:03:47.904-04:002011-07-16T12:03:47.904-04:00steelbreast:
