All, Today we hopped on a bus and made our way to the pyramids. Even cooler than you can imagine. There are a few of them here, and even though they’re all about 5,000 years old, some are “newer” and better built as the Egyptians learned along the way. Amazing that...

All, In Cairo. Incredible city and to many, the cradle of human civilization from the written age. Influenced by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Coptic Christians, Europeans, Jews, Muslims, and Ottomans, it provides such a unique history. We spent the first day...

After a lovely visit to Galway with Bob and Emma Kevitt, Hallie and I spent 3 days in western Ireland before our upcoming Nile River cruise. It's funny, I have been to almost 90 countries in my life, but this was the first time in Ireland. The West is more rural/less...

On Saturday, a group of our Erie LP’ers took their grit and determination to the beach to beat the Final Beast on the Bay; a 10 mile, 30 obstacle course in terrain consisting of sand, mud, water and trails. The Beast on the Bay is an annual fundraiser organized by...

All, Hey, I know I send a lot (too many? 😉) emails. But if you get a chance this weekend, please—PLEASE—take the time to listen to this podcast. It's not about me. It's not even about LP. It's about Aaron Taylor and talking about the Joe Moore Award, for which we're...

All, Please see the thank-you letter we recently received from the City of Chornomorsk, Erie's sister city. As you know, LP has been active in the Odesa region—through our work in the ports, our support for The Seasters at their beautiful Chonomorets stadium, and our...

All, Today marked the opening day of the conference, and it was nothing short of historic. Prime Ministers from across Europe delivered passionate speeches affirming their unwavering support for Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression. Ukrainian President...

All, Greetings from Rome—a truly beautiful city and a fitting host for this year’s BAC meeting. We’re honored to welcome Barbara Cimmino as she steps into the leadership role, representing Italy, and succeeding our good friend Christian Bruch of Germany. Christian,...

Well, back in Erie safe and sound. LONG trip home (26 hours!) and a bit jet-lagged — but all good. As you’ve probably seen from my posts, this was a successful and memorable trip. The main events were: 1. Visiting the Chornomorets Soccer Stadium in Odesa 2. Helping...
