LCCC to hold Luzerne County Regional College Fair

<p>A foundation was formed to honor the memory of Eric Speicher Jr. who battled an ependymoma, a pediatric brain tumor, for two and one-half years. In commemoration, Little Eric&#8217; Foundation (LEF) held it&#8217;s first annual fundraiser at Fox Hill Country Club in September. Eric gained his angel wings on Dec. 23, 2013, but LEF continues his fight by raising awareness and fund pediatric brain and childhood cancers. Board members from left, first row, are: Jennifer Bonita, committee chair; Dorothy Stella, casino chairperson; Don Stella, treasurer; Carol Kuplen, Anne Cawley, Rosalie Cullagh, secretary; A.J.
