On this date in Gannon University history: We’re all familiar with the meme, but did you know Marc Brown, the creator of Arthur, is from Erie, Pennsylvania? On October 7, 1993 Mr. Brown returned to his hometown to speak at Gannon. He left us with several signed copies of his beloved Arthur children’s books. Coincidentally, Arthur the TV show premiered on PBS on October 7, 1996!
