SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY- While folks in the Greenridge section of Scranton walked their dogs, a German Shepherd checked things out around a home on North Washington Avenue, musicians arrived and Secret Service got the lay of the land.

President Bill Clinton again visited Northeastern Pennsylvania, this time at a fundraising dinner at the home of Mayor Chris Doherty.

About 100 guests were expected to be in attendance. The maximum donation allowed by law is $2,300.

President Clinton arrived about 45 minutes late and stayed for an hour and 20 minutes. Light Hors D’oeurves and cocktails were on the menu.

The 42nd president greeted a crowd of about 60 supporters that had gathered outside the private party.
