  • INTERVIEW with JOHN TROAN Interviewed by Ford Risley Conducted Under the Auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists
    INTERVIEW WITH JOHN TROAN Interviewed by Ford Risley Conducted under the auspices of the Pennsylvania Newspaper Journalists Oral History Program Department of Journalism Penn State University 2006 John Troan Interview Risley: This is an interview with John Troan at his home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on August 18, 2005. I guess we’ll get started at the beginning. Tell me when and where you were born. Troan: Well, I was born in the little coal mining town near Scranton, Pennsylvania, called Jessup. And according to the state’s vital statistics bureau, I was born on August 23, 1918, even though my mother insisted it was 1919. Risley: Why did she insist it was 1919? Troan: She said I was not born until after World War I had ended. And that was her recollection. But the midwife who delivered me signed the certificate saying 1918, so I accept that. Risley: Tell me a little bit about your parents. Troan: Well, they were immigrants, from what was then Austria—Hungary, and is now a part of Slovakia. They came into the United States in 1908—same year Bob Hope came in. He came in from England. His friends had preceded him and they told him there were a lot of opportunities in coal mining and steel making. So he elected to come and go into the coal mines—anthracite coal mines in and near Scranton. And then he sent for my mother—told her if the opportunity arose, and he had a job, he would bring her in and he did—brought my mother and my two older sisters here.

The paper introduces the reader to the mechanization and modernization of the tattoo through newspaper articles and secondary sources. Cultural aspects including beauty and its advertising campaigns and the circuses and sideshows which introduced Americans from all walks of life to the tattoo are introduced and studied. The military is the largest aspect of tattoos and their identification with the American patriot; the paper includes several photos of the most popular of design. Other factors including a small excerpt on removal and new techniques that evolve from the tattoo are also discussed.

Michael Gary Chatzky* and William Eric Robinson** INTRODUCTION A right of access to "public forums" for the holders of diverse viewpoints has been judicially granted with reference to privately-owned streets and sidewalks' and shopping cen- ters.2 In addition, the courts have acknowledged the import- ance of both the print and broadcast media as forums for speech.3 Those who favor a first amendment-based right of access frequently emphasize the necessity of having these for- ums available to the representatives of partisan ideas.

  • Football Legend Vince Lombardi Was Not Known to Toss Around Many
    ootball legend Vince Lombardi was not known to toss around many compliments, F so when he signed the back of a 1968 Dapper Dan Club dinner program “To Al Abrams, in high esteem, Vince Lombardi,” it was a huge compliment to the Post-Gazette The 1 By Richard “Pete” Peterson “Pete” Richard By sportswriter and longtime coordinator of the charity event. Aside from occasional fan mail and Golden Quill awards, sportswriters rarely receive accolades, yet they were and often still are a prime conduit between athletes and fans. During the age when newspapers were the main source for news and opinions about sports, Pittsburgh’s top sportswriters wrote daily columns, sponsored major charities, and became household names. They were routinely elected president of the Baseball Writers Association of America and of the National Football Writers Association.2 A few eventually received Hall of Fame recognition for their meritorious service to sports, including playing a leading role in the integration of baseball, and one became famous for creating the Terrible Towel.3 Pittsburgh’s newspaper archives are filled with bylines of The Golden Age of Pittsburgh’s Sportswriters sportswriters who wove the stories that helped transform the city’s championship teams and athletes into legends.
