BRICH FOR SCHOOL BOARD

I support ex-teacher, former fighter pilot and successful businessman Bob Brich for election May 7 as the four-year-at-large School Board member.

As the father of three children who successfully graduated from Virginia Beach schools to go on to higher education, I recognize his and his wife Joann's commitment to family values and quality education.

Bob Brich is one of a few candidates to receive the support of 6,500-plus Virginia Beach teachers. He also has an MBA in finance and manages a $42-million annual corporate budget for a high-technology company ranked 15 of 50 in Virginia.

I support Bob Brich because he has the integrity, courage, financial savvy and qualifications to be Virginia Beach's top choice for the School Board. Bob Brich is a quality person and quality candidate.
