Clearly the VP press office was off the job - said they couldn't reach them
for comment. I blame Alex.

You going to go to this? Selma must have been really cool and historic but
this is real white people "history"!

Vice President Joe Biden, a Scranton native, will deliver the principal
remarks at the upcoming dinner of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of
Lackawanna County.

Mr. Biden will address the Friendly Sons at the organization’s 110th annual
event on March 17 at Genettti Manor in Dickson City, James J. Haggerty Jr.,
president of the Friendly Sons, told members of the society during a
meeting on Friday night.

“The Friendly Sons are honored that the vice president has accepted our
invitation to attend our annual dinner,” Mr. Haggerty said. “We’re thrilled
to welcome home such a distinguished American of Irish descent who was born
and raised in Scranton. We look forward to a great night highlighted by
such a prominent official and remarkable speaker.”

Mr. Biden’s speech will be his third to the Friendly Sons. He also served
as principal speaker in 1973 and 1998.

He will be the second sitting vice president to address the organization.
Vice President Hubert Humphrey spoke to the Friendly Sons in 1968.

A native of Scranton, Mr. Biden graduated from the University of Delaware
and Syracuse University College of Law. After serving on New Castle County
Council in Delaware, he was elected as a Democrat to the U.S. Senate at age
29 in 1972.

As a senator from Delaware for 36 years, Mr. Biden distinguished himself on
criminal justice issues while serving on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
From his position on the Foreign Relations Committee, Mr. Biden played an
important role in U.S. foreign policy.

He was elected vice president as the running mate of President Barack Obama
in 2008 and 2012.

Mr. Biden has been married to Jill Jacobs Biden, Ph.D., since 1977. He has
two sons, Beau and Hunter; a daughter, Ashley; and five granchildren.

Efforts to reach Mr. Biden’s office for comment were unsuccessful.
