POTTSVILLE, Pa. (AP) - January 6, 2009
Long was linked with his wife, Chanda, at the Birthplace of
Schuylkill Health System via Webcam when she went into labor on
Saturday. The two were able to see and talk with each other for
nearly four hours until Chanda gave birth to their son at 6:15 p.m.
Long could see Chanda holding newborn Klutch Lee Long and hear
the baby's first cries. "It was the next best thing to him being
right there," Chanda Long said.
Long, a native of Bernville in Berks County, and Chanda, a 1999
Pottsville Area High School graduate, expect to be reunited on
Long's scheduled return to the United States in April.
