I’ve never liked brides’ magazines and all the sentimental advertising fluff that seems to accompany American weddings. I was an iconoclast even as a bride myself 43 years ago. However, this column arrives on the heels of my daughter’s wedding and so I am “re-specting,” that is, “re-viewing” what may lie hidden beneath the frills, fancies, and high finances. For one, weddings are one of…
On Nov. 5, voters in Chadds Ford Township will choose a new supervisor. I am writing to voice my support for Frank Murphy’s candidacy. I first came to know Frank when he moved to the township with his wife and daughters and I proudly supported his candidacies for school board director. As the father of five, I pay close attention to school issues and I…
My name is Rhona Klein and I am running for township supervisor. I have lived in Chadds Ford Township for 20 years. My husband and I have raised our two children in the township. They were both educated in the Unionville-Chadds Ford school district and graduated from Unionville High School. I have been an active member of the community, participating in many township and school…
It is my pleasure to recommend Frank Murphy as Supervisor of Chadds Ford Township. I have known Frank since he moved to Chadds Ford and served as treasurer for his initial campaign for the Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board director. A skill needed at the supervisor level is the ability to listen to all the residents on different township issues. Based on my experience, Frank has…

Frank brings us unparalleled educational and professional experience.

In a recent article, the editor of CFL quoted an unnamed person’s negative comment about Rhona Klein, the Democratic candidate for Township Supervisor. Since Klein was not given an opportunity to respond to that negative comment before its publication, I believe the CFL editor was not keeping his readers fully informed. This year, across Delaware County, scores of Democratic candidates are running to challenge the…

Under my stewardship as Delaware County controller, I am proud that Delaware County was again awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence for financial reporting by the Government Finance Officers' Association of the United States. In addition to my role as controller, I am a certified public accountant and member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants,…
I am running for Register of Wills. To me, the position is about families. It is where couples go to get their marriage license and begin their family, and where they may go later to probate the will of a loved one. If you live in Delaware County most of your life, you will likely be at the Register of Wills at least once. That…
