Lindsey Myers and Kevin Jesteadt were identified as the victims as the victims of the Friday plane crash that claimed 3 lives. There has been no recovery yet but debris and an oil slick have been spotted in Lake Erie. Myers was a graduate of Edinboro University and Jesteadt was a senior at the school. The pilot, James Regal of Butler PA, picked up the couple in Meadville so Jesteadt could propose to Myers as they flew over Niagara Falls. They never made it.

Just a note: If you're interested in Oscar auditions, the URL is www.erieoscar.com . It is incorrect above, the link is dead.
It should be a fun show. There's still time to audition tomorrow (Tuesday, 8/30) at the Watson-Curtze Mansion at 356 W. 6th Street. Check out the website for more info and characters. We have a large cast for men and women. If you can't make it tomorrow, just leave me a message or leave one at the website - we can always schedule a time between you, me and my co-director for auditions.
