About the 3-Legged Abner video:
"Abner was rescued from Akron Humane Society after losing his leg to an animal attack. Cat Ladies Society is a no-kill shelter on the westside of Youngstown, Ohio at www.CatLadiesSociety.com"

It can also be seen on Viddler at http://www.viddler.com/explore/CatLadies/videos/1/  where they have 3 other videos of the older shelter and its cats, including the One-Eyed Pumpkin Pie Looking for A Home
 and this  infectiously happy one: Kitten Jump Fever

Pirko Sundial to be Unveiled at Youngstown State

The unveiling and dedication of the Richard Pirko memorial sundial will be Thursday August 26, at 1:30pm, outside the Ward-Beecher Planetarium, Youngstown University, Youngstown Ohio 44555 (weather permitting -- in case of bad weather we will hold it indoors in the Planetarium).

It should be a short ceremony.  Tony Armeni (the sculptor) will be there.  The Dean is invited, but his schedule is in flux, and may not be able to make it. The President and the Provost are also invited. Those saying a few words will include Victoria (Rick's wife), Angela Pupino, Pat Durrell and Warren Young at this point. Ron Cole (YSU media person) will be there, and with Warren's help will be writing up a press release for the event.

Planetarium is in Ward Beecher Science Hall - Building #14, Lincoln Avenue, Youngstown OH 44555
