Greetings,

Erie has always had a special place in my heart. The first time I heard the name Erie. It was family, the little town in Northwest Pennsylvania. Erie, Cleveland, Meadville, Buffalo, Rochester are all towns along the lake.

Change is sometimes a good thing but not always. All the great lakes are named after American Indian tribes. The Erie tribe left long before any of settles. There are several towns on Lake Erie. Each lake has its own legends and lore. Erie, PA is a town of lake effect snow in the winter and mild summers.

I really don’t think the name of Lake Erie should be changed.
