Bob White spent the first 18 years of his life toiling on his grandfather's farm in Bucks County, PA. Tired of baling hay and milking cows at 4:45 a.m., he traded in his pitchfork and scythe for a crew cut and an M-1 rifle when he joined the U.S. Marines in May of 1959. During his six-year stint in the service, Bob spent the Cold War years on several tours in the Mediterranean and at Guantanamo Bay during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Back home, he stood guard duty at Camp David whenever President Kennedy was there on weekends, and tragically, he was also involved in scheduling the military honors for JFK's funeral. Returning to civilian life in Bucks County in 1965, Bob spent years in the construction business before ascending to the executive directorship of the Redevelopment Authority of the County of Bucks. Over a 24 year period, he transformed a county littered with dozens of toxic, abandoned industrial sites-remnants of the county's rich manufacturing past-into beautiful parks, upscale residential housing communities, sparkling office complexes, and a thriving deepwater port on the Delaware River. He has been hailed as an economic and environmental visionary throughout the county.
