“Chilly Billy”, Bill Cardille from Pittsburgh’s Channel 11 was the reporter. I believe he was the host of Friday night horror movies, also the TV weatherman at Ch.11?
(Pittsburghers will remember TV’s Nick Perry from Bowling for dollars, I rode the elevator with him, and he invited me to have a coffee when we got to the fourth floor, I believe he was part owner of a vending machine services company.. That coffee must have cost him a dime, but I am sure that somehow it got back into his pocket!)
When Night of the Living Dead was made, I was working in Pittsburgh as an engineering clerk (my first job out of H.S.) in the Piping department at engineering firm Swindell-Dressler located at the corner of Smithfield & 5th. for minimum wage of $300/mth.
“Wish I could turn back the clock, those were fun days for me..!”
