I was able to get a message to Don "The Schwenneker" Schwenneker, asking him to drop me a note to let us know how he's doing out there in Chicago. The big man was kind enough to oblige and wrote:

Class act, that Don Schwenneker is. I'm glad to see that he's doing well. In fact, he's already moved from weekend weather dude to the 5:00PM weekday newscast in a matter of a few months. I don't know about you, but I think making it to a daily newscast in Chicago is a pretty big deal. I predict even bigger things for the big man.
I came across a behind the scenes interview of The Schwenneker from his new station's web site. Take a look. He has nice things to say about Pittsburgh and the patron saint of Pittsburgh Italians, Joe DeNardo. I dubbed him "The Schwenneker" long ago, but watch the video to hear what his real nickname is.
Good lookin' out, Don.
