This morning a young female weekend shift reporter (Melanie something) from WPXI (channel 11) in Pittsburgh ventured to the Bedford TPike exit—she had a bunch of teens, from Nebraska, on air with her. The teens were inspiring—they were already 17 hours on the bus back from DC from the Right to Life March, but they were so upbeat and one young girl said to the affect that she “offered up” her inconvenience of the storm “for the babies to be born.” She was just a faithfilled young woman speaking eloquently. I was impressed that the station and reporter LET them speak in several segments.
And the Duquesne Dukes men’s bball team was stuck too...I was told they were sheltering a couple stranded families on their bus (they had room).
What a mess...the TPike, by Allegheny Tunnels is really an engineering feat when you consider the topography.
