Gannon To Move Home – less Man

Following the successful relocation of the Olds-Norman House from West Seventh Street to West Sixth Street, Gannon University has announced a plan to move a homeless man from in front of the south entrance of Nash Library to a bench in front of the Erie County Courthouse on October 10th at 7:00am.

To perform this difficult task, the university has hired the firm of Vey-Grant Movers, a nationally known company that specializes in relocations. “We plan on waiting until this man is asleep, and then the movers will use their specialized equipment to lift him gently off the bench where he is currently residing,” said Gannon Interim Vice-Deputy Spokesperson Gregory MacDonald. “He will then be rotated 180 degrees so when the move is complete, he’ll be facing Sixth Street.” Special viewing areas will be established for the public to witness this historic move, which should take about six hours, weather permitting.  

McDonald said the move will place the individual “Off the Gannon campus before the October Open House.”
