[PRCo] AMUSEMENT PARKS

[Bob Rathke]

Thanks, Fred. People who were in Pittsburgh in the 1960's and 70's will recognize Bill Cardille (and his family) in several of the scenes shot at West View Park. Starting in 1957, he was a personality at WIIC-TV channel 11, and hosted Studio Wrestling as well as appearing as "Chilly Billy Cardilly" on the Saturday night monster movie program.
