Wow, didn't know that. She's a long-time family friend. I was the flower girl in her wedding at age 2. Cool.

Is this news still current? Does anybody know?

I thought Lynn Behrens was the CEO of the medical school and of the medical center too.

Hello Jeannie,

I began to read "The Breaking News" and thought, "sounds vaguely familiar, how interesting" then I got to the passing and the funeral services of Steve Orian's father. My first thought was 'how many father's does he have?' and then I checked the date of the original post.
