Enrollment Climbs for
13th Consecutive Year
Headcount reaches a record-setting 9,400
W
Cal U freshman Olivia Zaiss, an elementary education and special
education major, walks across campus. The headcount for undergraduates has increased by 3 percent compared to fall 2009.
ith a headcount of 9,400, enrollment
has reached an all-time high at
California University of Pennsylvania.
This is the 13th consecutive year of recordsetting enrollment at Cal U. The student
population for the fall 2010 semester has increased
by 4.2 percent over last year’s total.
Both undergraduate and graduate enrollment is
rising, University officials report:
The headcount for undergraduates has
increased by 3 percent compared to fall 2009
figures.
Graduate student enrollment has grown by 9.4
percent since last year. The increase reflects interest
in both Cal U’s traditional master’s degree
programs and its Global Online programs, which
are delivered 100 percent online.
“Our traditional graduate and Global Online
enrollments have never been better,” said Dr. John
Cencich, dean of the School of Graduate Studies
and Research. “As the graduate school increases its
global presence, word of its high-quality programs
and dedicated teacher-scholars has spread.
“There is no shortage of applicants for our faceto-face or online programs, which positions us to
accept outstanding students seeking career
advancement and scholarly development.”
California University’s enrollment has grown by
more than 3,500 students since 2000, when the
total headcount was 5,899 — an increase of 59
percent within the decade.
“Cal U continues to deliver a high-quality
education at an affordable price,” said Dr. William
Edmonds, dean of admissions.
“We offer a wide variety of nationally
accredited programs, and our classes are taught by
faculty who are among the best in their fields.
With our commitment to building both character
and careers, Cal U offers a student-centered
experience that focuses not only on job skills, but
also on the life skills that form a strong foundation
for success.
“From our time- and money-saving Four-Year
Graduation Plan to our Student Success Center
and lifelong Career Services, Cal U is committed to
helping students achieve their goals.”
Green Dot Strategy Aims to End Violence
C
al U’s violence prevention
initiative has a new name, a
broader reach and an easily
recognizable “Green Dot” strategy.
But like its predecessor, the
P.E.A.C.E. Project, the End V Center is
committed to ending violence within the
campus community.
The anti-violence center is now fully
funded by the University after being
funded through grants for the past 10
years.
“We now have more freedom to
approach prevention in a different way,”
said Kay Dorrance, End V’s coordinator
and victim advocate.
The transition has enabled the End V
Center to foster a more inclusive
environment and incorporate the Green
Dot strategy, created by Dr. Dorothy
Edwards at the University of Kentucky.
It’s a comprehensive approach to
violence prevention that capitalizes on
the power of peer and cultural
influences.
While the P.E.A.C.E. Project’s efforts
focused on perpetrators and potential
victims, “the Green Dot addresses the
bystanders to these crimes and tries to
get them to act on behalf of someone,”
Dorrance said.
“That’s a huge difference, without
even getting into the issue of what a
perpetrator does or how a victim acts.
Ideally, if enough bystanders intervene,
we are preventing violence from ever
happening.”
The Green Dot represents any
moment, big or small, that either directly
or indirectly helps reduce the prevalence
of violence. One example might simply
be helping a friend get home safely from
a party or lounge.
“When a bystander does something
positive and proactive for someone else,
that’s labeled a Green Dot moment,”
said Dorrance. “If I commit to do two,
seven or 27 Green Dot moments this
semester, then I contributed to ending
violence on our campus.”
Dorrance and graduate assistant
Samantha Glagola traveled to the
University of Kentucky’s Violence,
Intervention and Prevention Center for a
four-day training session last winter. Cal
U became licensed to implement the
Green Dot program, and Edwards also
visited the Cal U campus.
“The training really helped us
become multi-dimensional and
understand the importance of marketing
in pulling in a critical mass of people,”
said Dorrance.

Interim VP for Marketing,
University Relations Named
P
resident Angelo Armenti, Jr. has
announced that Craig Butzine ’84
will serve as interim vice
president for Marketing and University
Relations.
Butzine joined the Cal U staff in
2008 as director of marketing. In that
role he has expanded the depth and
breadth of the university’s marketing
efforts and established multifaceted
partnerships with leading organizations,
including the Pittsburgh Steelers, the
Carnegie Science Center and the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Changing the name of the former
Office of University Relations reflects a
new emphasis on marketing Cal U by
creating dynamic partnerships,
President Armenti said.
“I believe the future success of the
University will be determined by our
ability to form partnerships with worldclass organizations,” he said. “Craig is
adept at forming these relationships,
then working with our partners to
identify ‘win-win’ solutions that benefit
Cal U and its students.”
Before coming to Cal U, Butzine
was a sales, marketing and business
development consultant to technology
companies including Cisco Systems,
Mediasite Live and Ultrak. He was
global vice president for marketing
services at Marconi PLC and senior vice
president/management supervisor at the

Zipcar Arrives
Cal U has launched a new partnership with Zipcar Inc. See story on page 2.

project.
C
alifornia University has launched a new
partnership with Zipcar Inc., providing
the Cal U campus with access to the
world’s leading car-sharing service.
The cost-effective and convenient
transportation option is now available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week to all students, faculty
and staff ages 18 and older.
Zipcar is an environmentally friendly
transportation alternative that takes 15 to 20
privately owned vehicles off the road, the
company says.
Drivers reserve a car and pay by the hour or
by the day. Fuel, insurance, reserved parking
spots and roadside assistance are included in
the Zipcar rates, which start as low as $8 per
hour and $66 per day.
The annual Zipcar membership fee for
anyone affiliated with Cal U is only $35, and
University applicants receive $35 worth of free
driving credit applied toward their first month
of driving. Students, faculty and staff can join
at http://www.zipcar.com/calu, or by checking
the Quick Links for “parking” at
www.calu.edu.
Cars can be reserved easily online and
accessed 24 hours a day. Cal U’s two Zipcars,
one hybrid and one with a standard engine, are
parked on Hickory Street between residence
halls A and B.
Zipcar even offers a fun and functional
iPhone app that will honk the horn to locate a
Zipcar and unlock the doors for members.
“We’re confident that the Cal U
community will benefit from the flexibility and
cost-savings of our car-sharing program,” said
Matthew Malloy, vice president of Global
University Operations at Zipcar. “Cal U
Zipcar members not only will minimize the
hassle and expense of owning a private
vehicle, but will reduce their carbon footprint,
as well.”
Zipcar has established partnerships with
more than 200 colleges and universities, and it
utilizes a network of local vendors to service
and clean its fleet.

Editors Invite Collaboration
Three CED Faculty Members Finish Third Book
T
hree faculty members from the
Counselor Education
Department are prepared to
see their third book go to press —
and they have turned the series into a
collaborative project involving other
faculty and students.
Over the past six years Drs. John
Patrick, Grafton Eliason and Jeff
Samide have co-edited three books on
issues in career development for
Information Age Publishing, based in
Charlotte, N.C. The third book in the
series, to be published in spring 2011,
is titled Career Development in Higher
Education.
Patrick began the series before
coming to Cal U in 2002. He coedited the first book, Issues in Career
Development (2005), with Eliason and
Dr. Donald L. Thompson, a retired
dean and a colleague of Patrick’s at
Troy State (Ala.) University.
“Don was concerned, as was I,
that there were not enough venues for
researchers in the field of counselor
education to publish,” said Patrick.
“Most of the flagship journals in our
field have a backlog of as many as
150 articles, so it’s going to be
extremely difficult to get into that
queue.”
In addition to the trio of editors,
Cal U students and faculty members
from Counselor Education and other
departments have contributed to the
series.
“We want to bring in as many
people as we can from this academic
community,” Patrick said. “I queried
students in the career counseling
class, and this has been a great
experience for them.”
In the first book, four Cal U
students — Kelly Tuning, Jessica
Grasha, Amy Lucas and April Perry
— wrote a chapter about career
theorist John Holland.
Contributing chapters to the
second book, Career Development in the
Schools (2008), were Dr. Emily
Sweitzer, then a member of the
Psychology Department, and adjunct
faculty members William Rullo and
Mark Lepore.
Drs. Jacqueline Walsh and
Taunya Tinsley, both of Counselor
Education, have chapters in the third
book. So do Rhonda Gifford and
Gene Sutton of Career Services.
Rullo and Sweitzer also have
contributed.
In addition, recent graduates
Demond Bledsoe, Eric Owens and
Jack Lent penned a chapter on multicultural issues in career development,
and Lent added “Career Counseling
in Technical Institutions.” Assisting
with the editing is graduate student
Maria Grandas.
”For tenure-track faculty, this a
wonderful way to get their
publications started,” said Patrick. “It
gives students a sense of
accomplishment and lets them
experience the rigorous nature of the
publishing process.
“From a faculty perspective, this
lets the students see us in a different
light. They see that what we talk
about in class has real meaning. We
can give voice to our interest in
career counseling.”
Designed for school counselors
and administrators, the books also
have been used as supplemental texts
in higher education.
A fourth book is being planned:
Incorporating the best chapters from
the first three books, it will be
marketed as a textbook in career
theory. Another title will look at the
use of creative arts in career
counseling.
“Through a collaborative effort we
are providing a service to counselors
across the nation,” Patrick said, “as
well as a publishing venue for
counselors and counselor educators.”

Aims to End Violence

Glagola, previously an intern in Dorrance’s office, explained that
the Green Dot marketing materials helped the End V Center staff
inform students at 39 first-year seminar classes at the start of this
semester. The center also has partnered with community assistants in
the residence halls and with the J. Coles Inn in California Borough.
Both Dorrance and Glagola pointed out the correlation between
alcohol use and sexual assault.
“Many students have shown an interest in the Green Dot
program,” said Glagola. “”We are hitting them with this in all aspects
of their lives.”
Repeatedly showing the Green Dot in fliers, posters and other
materials reminds students of the need to address the problem
whenever it occurs;
Dorrance emphasized the End V Center’s slogan: “Everyday and
Everyone.”
“This new Green Dot primary prevention strategy encourages the
whole campus community to become involved,” said Nancy Skobel,
director of the campus Women’s Center. “Violence prevention is
everyone’s issue.”
The campus community is invited to attend an End V Center Open House
from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m tomorrow in Carter G-45. Everyone is welcome.

Foreman batted .351 and went 6-2 on the mound
with a team-best 2.74 ERA. Cal won the division title
with a 16-4 mark.
Foreman helped the Vulcans repeat as PSAC-West
champions in 2002, when he batted .320 while earning
three pitching victories. Cal posted a 16-3-1 divisional
mark.
The four-time all-conference star said that Cal’s
slow finish in 2000 motivated the players to become
champions his the following seasons.
“I felt like we let Coach Conte down after my
sophomore year, and we hit the weights and worked
hard that following off-season,” Foreman said.
“We were very close, pushed each other and
became hungrier and more mature. We did the extra
work you need to do.”
Eight years later, Foreman is still listed among the
top 10 in seven career offensive categories: 50 doubles
(tied for first), 573 at-bats (third), 201 hits (third), 129
runs (fourth), 123 RBI (fifth), 88 walks (fifth), and .350
batting average (10th).
His 17 wins and 3.04 ERA still rank fourth in the
school record books, and his 43 appearances rank fifth.

Foreman sacrificed possibly even more dominant
statistics to help the team by playing two demanding
positions.
“It was rough, to be truthful, but Coach gave me
a lot of trust and we needed someone to anchor the
rotation,” said Foreman. “I love to hit and pitch,
and I just wanted to do whatever I could to help the
team to do well.”
His respect for Conte is evident, and the two
keep in touch regularly. In fact, Foreman helped
Conte recruit current all-conference and all-region
outfielder Troy Handza.
The two were talking about other players this
summer when Conte told Foreman he had been
named to the Hall of Fame.
“It brought back a lot of good memories,”
Foreman said. “I always tried to make Coach proud,
and he knows I’d run through a wall for him. Mike
steered me straight early on, and he made us beasts
physically.”
Conte praised Foreman for turning the program
into a perennial power.
“Inside the white lines there was no one tougher
or more talented, but words cannot sum up what he
did for this program and his impact as a leader,”
Conte said. “He made other players elevate their
game, and that’s something you can’t coach. Jason
would be at practice working with guys an hour
early and stay an hour late.”
Following his senior season, Foreman went on to
pitch two seasons for the Washington Wild Things
and the Chillicothe (Ohio) Paints of the Independent
Frontier League. Before turning pro, Foreman
earned his bachelor’s degree from accounting at
Cal U.
Originally from Glenshaw, Pa., and a 1998
graduate of Shaler Area High School, Foreman has
worked the past six years for Metz & Associates, a
contract management company, where he is a senior
area manager. He said his education and overall
experience at Cal U helped him make succeed in the
corporate world.
“Cal gave me a lot of business sense in working
with the real world and being diplomatic,” he said.
“It helped me understand people better and become
more polished. I could see that in myself after my
college days. Cal was a good school.”
Foreman and his wife, Kelly, reside in Allison
Park, McCandless Township, Pa. They are expecting
their first child in February.

ith a headcount of 9,400, enrollment
has reached an all-time high at
California University of Pennsylvania.
This is the 13th consecutive year of recordsetting enrollment at Cal U. The student
population for the fall 2010 semester has increased

Both undergraduate and graduate enrollment is

The headcount for undergraduates has

Graduate student enrollment has grown by 9.4

total headcount was 5,899 — an increase of 59
percent within the decade.
“Cal U continues to deliver a high-quality
education at an affordable price,” said Dr. William
Edmonds, dean of admissions.
“We offer a wide variety of nationally
accredited programs, and our classes are taught by
faculty who are among the best in their fields.
With our commitment to building both character
and careers, Cal U offers a student-centered
experience that focuses not only on job skills, but
also on the life skills that form a strong foundation
for success.
“From our time- and money-saving Four-Year
Graduation Plan to our Student Success Center
and lifelong Career Services, Cal U is committed to
helping students achieve their goals.”
Green Dot Strategy Aims to End Violence
C
al U’s violence prevention
initiative has a new name, a
broader reach and an easily
recognizable “Green Dot” strategy.
But like its predecessor, the
P.E.A.C.E. Project, the End V Center is
committed to ending violence within the
campus community.
The anti-violence center is now fully
funded by the University after being
funded through grants for the past 10
years.
“We now have more freedom to
approach prevention in a different way,”
said Kay Dorrance, End V’s coordinator
and victim advocate.
The transition has enabled the End V
Center to foster a more inclusive
environment and incorporate the Green
Dot strategy, created by Dr. Dorothy
Edwards at the University of Kentucky.
It’s a comprehensive approach to
violence prevention that capitalizes on
the power of peer and cultural
influences.
While the P.E.A.C.E. Project’s efforts
focused on perpetrators and potential
victims, “the Green Dot addresses the
bystanders to these crimes and tries to
get them to act on behalf of someone,”
Dorrance said.
“That’s a huge difference, without
even getting into the issue of what a
perpetrator does or how a victim acts.
Ideally, if enough bystanders intervene,
we are preventing violence from ever
happening.”
The Green Dot represents any
moment, big or small, that either directly
or indirectly helps reduce the prevalence
of violence. One example might simply
be helping a friend get home safely from
a party or lounge.
“When a bystander does something
positive and proactive for someone else,
that’s labeled a Green Dot moment,”
said Dorrance. “If I commit to do two,
seven or 27 Green Dot moments this
semester, then I contributed to ending
violence on our campus.”
Dorrance and graduate assistant
Samantha Glagola traveled to the
University of Kentucky’s Violence,
Intervention and Prevention Center for a
four-day training session last winter. Cal
U became licensed to implement the
Green Dot program, and Edwards also
visited the Cal U campus.
“The training really helped us
become multi-dimensional and
understand the importance of marketing
in pulling in a critical mass of people,”
said Dorrance.

Interim VP for Marketing,
University Relations Named
P
resident Angelo Armenti, Jr. has
announced that Craig Butzine ’84
will serve as interim vice
president for Marketing and University
Relations.
Butzine joined the Cal U staff in
2008 as director of marketing. In that
role he has expanded the depth and
breadth of the university’s marketing
efforts and established multifaceted
partnerships with leading organizations,
including the Pittsburgh Steelers, the
Carnegie Science Center and the
Pittsburgh Penguins.
Changing the name of the former
Office of University Relations reflects a
new emphasis on marketing Cal U by
creating dynamic partnerships,
President Armenti said.
“I believe the future success of the
University will be determined by our
ability to form partnerships with worldclass organizations,” he said. “Craig is
adept at forming these relationships,
then working with our partners to
identify ‘win-win’ solutions that benefit
Cal U and its students.”
Before coming to Cal U, Butzine
was a sales, marketing and business
development consultant to technology
companies including Cisco Systems,
Mediasite Live and Ultrak. He was
global vice president for marketing
services at Marconi PLC and senior vice
president/management supervisor at the

C
alifornia University has launched a new
partnership with Zipcar Inc., providing
the Cal U campus with access to the
world’s leading car-sharing service.
The cost-effective and convenient
transportation option is now available 24 hours
a day, seven days a week to all students, faculty
and staff ages 18 and older.
Zipcar is an environmentally friendly
transportation alternative that takes 15 to 20
privately owned vehicles off the road, the
company says.
Drivers reserve a car and pay by the hour or
by the day. Fuel, insurance, reserved parking
spots and roadside assistance are included in
the Zipcar rates, which start as low as $8 per
hour and $66 per day.
The annual Zipcar membership fee for
anyone affiliated with Cal U is only $35, and
University applicants receive $35 worth of free
driving credit applied toward their first month
of driving. Students, faculty and staff can join
at http://www.zipcar.com/calu, or by checking
the Quick Links for “parking” at
www.calu.edu.
Cars can be reserved easily online and
accessed 24 hours a day. Cal U’s two Zipcars,
one hybrid and one with a standard engine, are
parked on Hickory Street between residence
halls A and B.
Zipcar even offers a fun and functional
iPhone app that will honk the horn to locate a
Zipcar and unlock the doors for members.
“We’re confident that the Cal U
community will benefit from the flexibility and
cost-savings of our car-sharing program,” said
Matthew Malloy, vice president of Global
University Operations at Zipcar. “Cal U
Zipcar members not only will minimize the
hassle and expense of owning a private
vehicle, but will reduce their carbon footprint,
as well.”
Zipcar has established partnerships with
more than 200 colleges and universities, and it
utilizes a network of local vendors to service
and clean its fleet.

Editors Invite Collaboration
Three CED Faculty Members Finish Third Book
T
hree faculty members from the
Counselor Education
Department are prepared to
see their third book go to press —
and they have turned the series into a
collaborative project involving other
faculty and students.
Over the past six years Drs. John
Patrick, Grafton Eliason and Jeff
Samide have co-edited three books on
issues in career development for
Information Age Publishing, based in
Charlotte, N.C. The third book in the
series, to be published in spring 2011,
is titled Career Development in Higher
Education.
Patrick began the series before
coming to Cal U in 2002. He coedited the first book, Issues in Career
Development (2005), with Eliason and
Dr. Donald L. Thompson, a retired
dean and a colleague of Patrick’s at
Troy State (Ala.) University.
“Don was concerned, as was I,
that there were not enough venues for
researchers in the field of counselor
education to publish,” said Patrick.
“Most of the flagship journals in our
field have a backlog of as many as
150 articles, so it’s going to be
extremely difficult to get into that
queue.”
In addition to the trio of editors,
Cal U students and faculty members
from Counselor Education and other
departments have contributed to the
series.
“We want to bring in as many
people as we can from this academic
community,” Patrick said. “I queried
students in the career counseling
class, and this has been a great
experience for them.”
In the first book, four Cal U
students — Kelly Tuning, Jessica
Grasha, Amy Lucas and April Perry
— wrote a chapter about career
theorist John Holland.
Contributing chapters to the
second book, Career Development in the
Schools (2008), were Dr. Emily
Sweitzer, then a member of the
Psychology Department, and adjunct
faculty members William Rullo and
Mark Lepore.
Drs. Jacqueline Walsh and
Taunya Tinsley, both of Counselor
Education, have chapters in the third
book. So do Rhonda Gifford and
Gene Sutton of Career Services.
Rullo and Sweitzer also have
contributed.
In addition, recent graduates
Demond Bledsoe, Eric Owens and
Jack Lent penned a chapter on multicultural issues in career development,
and Lent added “Career Counseling
in Technical Institutions.” Assisting
with the editing is graduate student
Maria Grandas.
”For tenure-track faculty, this a
wonderful way to get their
publications started,” said Patrick. “It
gives students a sense of
accomplishment and lets them
experience the rigorous nature of the
publishing process.
“From a faculty perspective, this
lets the students see us in a different
light. They see that what we talk
about in class has real meaning. We
can give voice to our interest in
career counseling.”
Designed for school counselors
and administrators, the books also
have been used as supplemental texts
in higher education.
A fourth book is being planned:
Incorporating the best chapters from
the first three books, it will be
marketed as a textbook in career
theory. Another title will look at the
use of creative arts in career
counseling.
“Through a collaborative effort we
are providing a service to counselors
across the nation,” Patrick said, “as
well as a publishing venue for
counselors and counselor educators.”

Aims to End Violence

Glagola, previously an intern in Dorrance’s office, explained that
the Green Dot marketing materials helped the End V Center staff
inform students at 39 first-year seminar classes at the start of this
semester. The center also has partnered with community assistants in
the residence halls and with the J. Coles Inn in California Borough.
Both Dorrance and Glagola pointed out the correlation between
alcohol use and sexual assault.
“Many students have shown an interest in the Green Dot
program,” said Glagola. “”We are hitting them with this in all aspects
of their lives.”
Repeatedly showing the Green Dot in fliers, posters and other
materials reminds students of the need to address the problem
whenever it occurs;
Dorrance emphasized the End V Center’s slogan: “Everyday and
Everyone.”
“This new Green Dot primary prevention strategy encourages the
whole campus community to become involved,” said Nancy Skobel,
director of the campus Women’s Center. “Violence prevention is
everyone’s issue.”
The campus community is invited to attend an End V Center Open House
from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m tomorrow in Carter G-45. Everyone is welcome.

Hall of Fame Baseball Player Still Holds Records

Foreman batted .351 and went 6-2 on the mound
with a team-best 2.74 ERA. Cal won the division title
with a 16-4 mark.
Foreman helped the Vulcans repeat as PSAC-West
champions in 2002, when he batted .320 while earning
three pitching victories. Cal posted a 16-3-1 divisional
mark.
The four-time all-conference star said that Cal’s
slow finish in 2000 motivated the players to become
champions his the following seasons.
“I felt like we let Coach Conte down after my
sophomore year, and we hit the weights and worked
hard that following off-season,” Foreman said.
“We were very close, pushed each other and
became hungrier and more mature. We did the extra
work you need to do.”
Eight years later, Foreman is still listed among the
top 10 in seven career offensive categories: 50 doubles
(tied for first), 573 at-bats (third), 201 hits (third), 129
runs (fourth), 123 RBI (fifth), 88 walks (fifth), and .350
batting average (10th).
His 17 wins and 3.04 ERA still rank fourth in the
school record books, and his 43 appearances rank fifth.

Foreman sacrificed possibly even more dominant
statistics to help the team by playing two demanding
positions.
“It was rough, to be truthful, but Coach gave me
a lot of trust and we needed someone to anchor the
rotation,” said Foreman. “I love to hit and pitch,
and I just wanted to do whatever I could to help the
team to do well.”
His respect for Conte is evident, and the two
keep in touch regularly. In fact, Foreman helped
Conte recruit current all-conference and all-region
outfielder Troy Handza.
The two were talking about other players this
summer when Conte told Foreman he had been
named to the Hall of Fame.
“It brought back a lot of good memories,”
Foreman said. “I always tried to make Coach proud,
and he knows I’d run through a wall for him. Mike
steered me straight early on, and he made us beasts
physically.”
Conte praised Foreman for turning the program
into a perennial power.
“Inside the white lines there was no one tougher
or more talented, but words cannot sum up what he
did for this program and his impact as a leader,”
Conte said. “He made other players elevate their
game, and that’s something you can’t coach. Jason
would be at practice working with guys an hour
early and stay an hour late.”
Following his senior season, Foreman went on to
pitch two seasons for the Washington Wild Things
and the Chillicothe (Ohio) Paints of the Independent
Frontier League. Before turning pro, Foreman
earned his bachelor’s degree from accounting at
Cal U.
Originally from Glenshaw, Pa., and a 1998
graduate of Shaler Area High School, Foreman has
worked the past six years for Metz & Associates, a
contract management company, where he is a senior
area manager. He said his education and overall
experience at Cal U helped him make succeed in the
corporate world.
“Cal gave me a lot of business sense in working
with the real world and being diplomatic,” he said.
“It helped me understand people better and become
more polished. I could see that in myself after my
college days. Cal was a good school.”
Foreman and his wife, Kelly, reside in Allison
Park, McCandless Township, Pa. They are expecting
their first child in February.
