Erie PA News and Events for Sunday October 30, 2005

If you want to know what a $1.5 million home in Erie looks like, here it is. Dr and Mrs Willian Steinbrink recently sold this property on South Shore Drive. I think that John Dineen, the new CEO of GE Infrastructure-Rail, purchased the home.

Today is my favorite day of the year. I gain one hour of sleep. Remember to change set your clocks back.

Lori Rizzo recently joined the Pueblo, CO based St Mary-Corwin Medical Center as a nurse practitioner. Rizzo received a BSN from Duquesne University and a master’s degree in nursing with a focus as a family nurse practitioner from Gannon University in Erie, Pa.
