We are humbled to be announced as the new State Directors for the State of Pennsylvania. The shoes we will fill are large as outgoing Directors, Wayne and Sue Burke, contributed greatly to NKK both at the State and International level. We plan on jumping in and giving our best foot forward for our PA members. PA has two NKK groups, West Penn Travelers and Penn’s Friends.
Many of you will say, the Hernley’s, who are they? It is true that we have not been around the camping arena for very long. We purchased our first camper ever in our lives in 2022, when we picked up a New Aire at the factory. Just months after getting it home we attended our first rally with NKK at the Penn’s Friends fall rally. We were greeted warmly and found our friend circle has only increased with each rally we attend.
Prior to retiring and starting the new hobby of travel: Duane owned a Farm Equipment business that morphed into a Power Sports Equipment business. He is always ready to talk about anything with a motor or better yet, what he can fix next! He also has a history of volunteering, whether it be at church, coaching his 2 boys or being a member of the local Booster Club.
It was at Booster Club that he met Lucy, where she was also a volunteer. Lucy was a stay-at-home Mom who also loves to volunteer. She spent many years helping at school, church and sports teams for her 3 boys. After marrying Duane, as her kids were finishing up high school, she worked the last 10 years helping Duane run his business. This proved to be great training for living together in a small space!
We are excited to help NKK highlight Pennsylvania and support the National NKK in any way we can. PA has much to offer with mountains, the Appalachian Trail, open farmland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, rich history in Gettysburg and lakes both big (Erie) and small. Come hike, boat, relax or explore we are happy to be your hosts.
