The Jefferson Educational Society is proud to announce the publication of the most authoritative and comprehensive book ever produced on legendary six-term Erie Mayor Louis J. Tullio.  Lou Tullio: A Real Erie Guy promises a revealing look at the life and times of one of the most significant and heavily mythologized politicians in the history of Erie. Following his lecture, author Cory Vaillancourt will be on-hand for a book signing, and Artifacts from the Louis J. Tullio Collection of the Sister Mary Lawrence Franklin Archival Center at Mercyhurst University will also be displayed. The book will be available for purchase for $20. – Cory Vaillancourt, B.A.
