Happy birthday, Bossman!

By Jason Togyer

Monday Morning Nostalgia Fix: Ninety years ago today, on Feb. 4, 1918, Mrs. Chedwick gave birth to a baby boy in Homestead, Pa.

She and her husband named him George Jacob Chedwick.

Later on, he changed his name to "Craig," but his mom called him "Porky."

I guess that makes her the mommio of the daddio of the raddio?

Happy 90th birthday, Bossman, and many happy returns!

You can celebrate with "Red Hots and Chili Mac," washed down with "White Port and Lemon Juice."

But before you get into the "Wine, Wine, Wine (Spo-Dee-O-Dee)," you might want to watch the story that Dave Crawley did for KDKA-TV (2) last Thursday.

You can also re-read Ed Weigle's fine tribute to Porky, written in 2001.
