Was born and raised on Long Island, but thanks to a slew of family on my father's side living in Western PA, Pittsburgh became my 2nd home. Oh, those chilly winter evenings in November, the family gathered around the Thanksgiving dinner table, and me breaking away after dessert and cutting a Bee-line to my cousin's radio to listen to top-40 jock Weird Beard. Can't remember the calls-- may have been a Pittsburgh ABC affiliate.

He just died in May. Chuck Peterson was his name. He was later PD at KDKA and WWSW.

I worked with Charlie Peterson when he was PD at KDKA in 1970; my first radio job. I'll always remember him telling me, tongue in cheek I assume, that the secret of good radio was simple; "play the hits and talk dirty". That worked for me at least a couple times in later years.
