READING, Pa. — It’s as if a golfing Uncle Sam yelled, “Fore!” and Berks County’s 18-year-old Pollock quadruplets heard a number and dutifully answered the call.

Graduating from Wilson High School last week, Erin, Stephanie, Brandon and William, Berks’ first quads, born Aug. 6, 1992, to Jim, now 46, and Kim, now 44, of Spring Township, will be donning Pennsylvania Army National Guard uniforms.

“Three of the four had their first drills this month,” said Sgt. 1st Class James E. Waid, 39, of Fleetwood, their recruiting officer.

“I’ve already started crying because they will always be my babies. I’m a mother,” said Kim, who works in the county’s 9-1-1- emergency call center. “But I am very proud of them, and I support their decision.”

The Pollocks’ oldest son, Anthony “A.J.”, 21, is a junior studying digital film and video production at the New England Art Institute, Boston.
