Reviewer: Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:54, 6 June 2010 (UTC) Overall this is a good article, though I do have the following concerns:[reply]

Any early life/personal info on him? It's probably sparse given his type of position but asking nonetheless.
- Not that I've been able to find, except for a short bit that I've now added under a "Personal life" section. — Hun ter Ka hn 13:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"and was the Johnstown city council" do you mean city councilman?
- Yup, that's my mistake. I fixed it. — Hun ter Ka hn 13:57, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I made some other tweaks, but I found no other major errors, so as a result I'm passing this article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:06, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains two photographs, neither of which are of the subject of this biographical article and thus seem gratuitous. Please consider removing them. The photos depict (1) a statue of Penn State's Nittany Lion and (2) an ex-governor.
