Yes he was.  And after he died, his sister and his Cordic & Co. cohort Karl
Hardman came to the museum for a "Remembering Rege Cordic" weekend.  As far
as I know, the beer is still available seasonally.

Greetings

Its about Pgh beer so it must be on topic.

What about Rege Cordic's Old Frothingslosh (spelling?) beer.  This started
out as a stunt (the foam was on the bottom) but I believe Iron City sold it.
Is it still sold at Christmas?

Rege was a KDKA radio personality and a railfan.  Member of Arden?
His father was a B&O Road Foreman of Engines.  He did the Cordic car
and ran an election year B&O special which allowed Arden to sell the
refreshments at a profit.

A question to Arden.  Was he a member?  #?

He was famous for happy events.  Like the brick throw?  Like the auto
off the bridge to no where?  Like the Crudley Whiteliner auto (long &
narrow)?

He was perfect for Pittsburgh.  Then he went to Hollywood TV and never made
it.

Another reason why Pittsburgh in the 1950's was a perfect place.
