They say one way to know if somebody is from Philly is if they know who Jim O'Brien is, and how he died. A big Tastykake Junior to you!!

Years ago I had to go to a job site in Chester to do some work on a Navy ship. I remember watching the local news one night and thinking that the guy doing the weather was a nut case. Smacking the weather board with a pointer and just generally jacking around. Later I learned more about him and his tragic death.

I have since moved to the Philly area, long after Mr. O'Brien passed, and still run into folks talking about Jim. He was a classic.

Regarding Jim O'Brien: Did you know that his daughter is actress Peri Gilpin, who plays producer Roz Doyle on "Fraizer"?
