Support Nathanson for school board

Paula Sjolund, D.O., Ireland Brook
   I am writing to you today to support Barry Nathanson in his bid for re-election for the South Brunswick Board of Education.
   Five years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Barry Nathanson for the first time. Since then I have been fortunate enough to witness him in many diverse roles: husband, parent, friend, coach, Board of Education member and SBPAL board member. In each of those areas I continued to see a man who took pride in all that he did.
   The level of his dedication became very clear to me during my time as a SBPAL Cheerleading coach. While I was coaching for the SBPAL, we lost our cheer director. No one was available to do the job and the cheerleading program was in jeopardy. Barry assumed the position of director to help us during this critical time. He certainly had no intentions or aspirations of being a cheer director that year, but with no hesitation he put his own time restraints and feelings aside and jumped in where 100 girls needed him the most. We were able to successfully complete our cheer season.
   For all the above reasons, I am supporting Barry while he runs for the Board of Education. He is generous with his time and dedication. More importantly he is the type of resident that South Brunswick could use more of.
