Capitol expected to overflow with Knoll mourners

HARRISBURG — There are expected to be more dignitaries showing up than available seats at the Capitol memorial service at noon today for the late Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll.

Speakers scheduled at the noon service include Rendell, Sen. Hillary Clinton and U.S. Rep. John Murtha, with Bishop Kevin Rhoades of the Harrisburg Diocese leading the invocation and benediction.

Knoll, 78, had battled neuroendocrine cancer since July and died Nov. 12.

Knoll's casket will be on display Sunday at St. Paul's Cathedral in Pittsburgh.
