In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

You have done a great job gathering and presenting information on this blog and I have learned a lot I didn't know about gas drilling (all sad and frightening). I hope your message is getting out. I used to live in Bradford County, now live "downstream" so to speak, near the Chesapeake Bay. Interestingly I haven't heard the Chesapeake Bay Foundation weigh in on this yet. I wonder if the news of this has not gotten on their radar yet?
