[PRCo] Mellon

[Bob Rathke]

Another Mellon joke.  Working downtown Pittsburgh in the 1960's, we were
treated to many construction projects on our lunch hours.  I worked with a
guy who, when he saw a building foundation being excavated, would always
say: "Looks like Richard King Mellon lost his class ring and he's got his
employees out looking for it."
