If anyone is in the Philadelphia area, Channel 6 Action News will be doing a whole story on Ed Snider (owner of the Philadelphia Flyers) tonight. They say it is about a mysterious disease that millions of people have and don't know it. I know Ed Snider has Celiac (since he is a board member of one of the local foundations). So, if anyone lives in this area, make sure to watch the 11pm news tonight on Channel 6!
