What kind of leadership does Erie need right now during these trying times? Is it someone who is about growing themselves or growing others? These questions are so important to me because Erie will always be the place I consider home. I am a proud, homegrown citizen of Erie. When people talk about things like eating Smith s hot dogs or enjoying a donut from Mighty Fine or Jack Frost, I fully understand what they say. A fun day at beautiful Presque Isle State Park or riding bikes through the Three Hills trails near McClelland Avenue gives me great memories of my childhood neighborhood. I have a solid connection to my Erie roots and understand that forward progression is very important to any city. Erie created and shaped a leader, and that is me.
Staying busy through a pandemic has not been a difficult task for Larry and Alyce Meredith. From their home near Redstone, the couple has been able to make the best use of their talents, from Larry’s skills as a writer to Alyce’s music, which has resulted in mini concerts out on the patio.
“Occasionally through the last few months, we have had some informal gatherings outside where we can practice social distancing and everyone wears masks and we just visit to stay in touch and see what is going on,” Larry said. “We manage to find things to occupy our time. The young people, I don’t think they read as much as we used to. That’s a good outlet. It’s a good way to learn things, it’s a good entertainment possibility and it takes you away from TV and the computer or the phone, which they seem to spend so much time on.”
