Neil, the [Allentown] Morning Call has online archives covering 1984 to the present. Just go to mcall.com and scroll down to the bottom under "Services," then click on "Archives." You can search for a name in these archives by typing "[firstname] pre/3 [lastname]" (without quotes). That will give you results that include the first name within three words of the last name, in case there are middle or maiden names intervening. The Call charges a fee to retrieve items from its archives, but you can get around the paywall. Once you find an entry that looks like the one you're looking for, highlight the title and paste it into your Google search window along with "Morning Call." The entire item will then be available for free.

In this case it turned up the following:
