PITTSBURGH — My first assignment at the late, great Pittsburgh Press was a feature story on fellow Beaver Falls man Joe Walton, then the first-year head coach of the New York Jets. It was October 1983. Back then, NFL clubs treated out-of-town media as visiting royalty. The Jets assigned me a young intern, not long out of Washington and Jefferson College. He facilitated all of my interviews. He made sure I had all the information I needed. He even was my chauffeur.
You might have heard of him.
