Jeremy has been a volunteer chef for the annual Pride Picnic and is active with the Covenant of Brighid's Haven. Eric is originally from Aurora Illinois and is an avid Dagorhir fighter.

Steve Aschmann of UUCE acted as the MC. PFLAG Erie and Crawford Counties meets the 2nd Monday of each month at 7 PM at the UUCE.

Reid and AnnDrea shortly afterward moved out of the area. Photos are by Deb Spilko for Erie Gay News.
