SAINT AIDAN PARISH MERCY ON THE MOUNT OUTREACH MINISTRY

By Paula Green

Saint Aidan Parish in Wexford is launching an outreach ministry to benefit those in need. Everyone is invited to a “grand unveiling” event for the Saint Aidan Parish Mercy on the Mount Outreach Ministry on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 12, immediately following the 10:00 am Mass at Saint Alexis Church. After Mass, attendees can go downstairs for a blessing of the space and an introduction to the new outreach.

This pivotal ministry will provide food, clothing, and toiletries to those in need, and will include a baby boutique in partnership with Walking with Moms in Need. Sr. Pawla

Witula, Saint Aidan’s Divine Mercy & Pastoral Outreach Minister, shared her enthusiasm: “I’m excited about this ministry, as many of our parishioners already serve others. For example, the Ladies of Charity do wonderful work, and we hope to partner with them and other ministries to expand our outreach,» she said.

Sr. Pawla began working at Saint Aidan in August 2025.

“Our pastor, Fr. DJ Egan brought me to Saint Aidan, hoping to expand parish outreach, reach those less fortunate, and involve more parishioners in works of mercy by using my experience as a social worker,” Sr. Pawla said.

Inspiration for the outreach also came from parishioner Mallory Chileski’s concerns for the community. After the reduction in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Mallory reached out to the parish, recognizing that many families were suddenly left without adequate support. Her proactive approach helped inspire this new outreach initiative.

Prior to joining Saint Aidan, Sr. Pawla gained extensive experience at the Red Door Ministry at Saint Mary of Mercy Church in Divine Mercy Parish, where she worked for six years.

“I first helped serve lunches, and after COVID, we expanded the program to serve dinners Monday through Friday. I was also involved for one year in the Warming Center for people experiencing homelessness. For the last three years, I mainly ran Saint Faustina’s Gate, distributing clothing, toiletries, and other essential items to people who are homeless or experiencing financial hardship,” Sr. Pawla remarked.

Saint Aidan Parish Mercy on the Mount Outreach Ministry will hold its “grand opening” on Tuesday, April 14, from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. Afterward, the ministry will be open every Tuesday during those hours. You may volunteer for a full or partial shift during these hours.

To support this work, you can donate gently used clothing by placing items in the Jesus in Disguise bins located at Saint Alexis Church and Saint Alphonsus Church. To make a monetary donation, please visit the Amazon Wish List available through their website. Your generosity will bring hope and relief to those in need.

“I’m very excited about Saint Aidan Parish’s Mercy on the Mount Outreach Ministry. It will be a great blessing to many people in the Wexford area because it will provide both visitors and volunteers the opportunity to encounter Jesus Christ and experience the mercy of God,” said Father DJ.

Sr. Pawla noted, “Ultimately, we are trying to respond to Christ’s call. Jesus said to Saint Faustina Kowalska, ‘I demand from you works of mercy.’ Jesus also said, ‘I came to serve, not to be served.’ This ministry is a beautiful way for us to follow Him by serving our neighbors.”

Preventive Care Is Good for Your Health

By Janice Lane Palko

Benjamin Franklin is credited with coining the phrase, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” That wisdom can be applied to many aspects of life from home maintenance to making sure you have regular oil changes for your car. It can also be applied to health care, especially when it comes to younger adults.

Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for a young adult, to “graduate” from their pediatric practice, head off to college or into the workforce and not have a primary care physician. A healthy person may feel they may not need to establish a relationship with a primary care provider, but that ounce of prevention of establishing a relationship with a primary care provider can help to avoid health issues in the future.

Think of preventive care as routine maintenance for your body. It’s far easier to keep things running smoothly than to deal with emergency repairs later. At our practice, we like to think of ourselves as your co-pilot, helping you stay ahead of illness instead of reacting to it.

But I feel fine, you may think, but feeling fine isn’t quantifiable; it isn’t a medical test. Many serious health conditions develop quietly, without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. That’s why routine screenings and annual checkups remain essential, even for people who feel perfectly fine.

Some of the most dangerous conditions are also the quietest. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes, and early kidney disease often cause no symptoms at first, yet they can lead to serious problems later. Preventive care helps catch these issues early, before they make headlines in your life.

Studies have shown an increase in heart attacks in people under 40 as well as an increase in diabetes and high blood pressure. These conditions can be devastating as well as deadly if they go untreated. But the good news is if they are addressed early, often times the outcome is more beneficial.

Young adults should prioritize yearly physicals, blood pressure checks, cholesterol and blood sugar testing, and age-appropriate cancer screenings such as colonoscopies, mammograms, and cervical cancer screenings. In recent years, some recommendations have shifted—for example, colon cancer screening often begins earlier than it once did.

Preventive care is not one-size-fits-all. Women need to stay current with breast and cervical cancer screenings, while men should begin paying attention to heart health sooner than they might expect. The best approach is a personalized one, tailored to your age, family history, and risk factors; much like a well-fitted suit. The better the fit, the better the results.

Establishing a relationship with a primary care provider before health issues arise is one of the most important steps patients can take. When something does come up, you’re not starting from scratch. We already know your baseline, what’s normal for you, and what isn’t.

An urgent care physician doesn’t know your health history, or your family history. That familiarity allows for quicker diagnoses, smarter decisions, and fewer unnecessary tests. Preventive care works best when it’s built on trust—not panic. (And while it’s tempting, Googling symptoms at 2 a.m. is not a reliable long-term healthcare strategy.) Long-term health works best when it’s supported by a long-term relationship.

Lifestyle habits are the backbone of preventive care. While medications have their place, daily habits are what truly change health trajectories over time.

If lifestyle changes feel overwhelming, don’t aim for perfection. Start small and boring—and stick with it. Walk more. Sleep 30 minutes longer. Drink more water. Consistency beats intensity every time. Preventive care is about progress, not guilt.

Advances in technology have transformed preventive care. Today, we have more sophisticated lab testing, including advanced cholesterol markers like ApoB and Lipoprotein(a), and imaging such as coronary artery calcium scans that can detect heart disease before symptoms appear.

Wearable devices can track heart rate, sleep, activity, and even glucose levels, while patient portals make communication easier than ever. But data alone isn’t enough. At our office, every provider is supported by a dedicated nurse to help interpret information and turn it into meaningful action. Technology gives us insight; preventive care turns that insight into better health.

If you avoid the doctor because you feel fine, are too busy, or worry about what you might find out, you’re

not alone. But avoiding care doesn’t prevent problems; it only delays knowing about them. And earlier is almost always easier. Preventive visits are far more often about reassurance than bad news.

The key takeaway is simple: don’t wait for symptoms to introduce you to the healthcare system. Preventive care is the most powerful, least dramatic way to protect your future health—and there’s no better time than now to invest in yourself.

At Grob, Scheri, Woodburn, and Griffin Family Medicine, we focus on proactive, personalized care; before problems start and long before they become emergencies. When the unexpected does happen, we’re here for that too. Your health. Your future. Let’s stay ahead of sickness. n

Coming up for Air

By Maura L. Johnson

That old familiar feeling was there the moment I awoke: the sinus pressure, scratchy throat and overall “blah-ness.” Having smugly thought I escaped the latest round of illness to hit our house, I clung to the hope (delusion?) that this was simply a case of feeling run down.

Having been sick twice so far since Christmas, it didn’t seem possible I could be coming down with something again. My daughter had just come through a virus that sidelined her during a family baby shower, followed by my husband receiving a strep throat diagnosis. Looking back, it likely wasn’t possible for me to come out of this unscathed. However, it’s been said the one thing stronger than fear is hope, which I seemed to have in spades. If, like me, you’ve found yourself thinking “no way is this happening again” this season, you’re definitely not alone. According to the CDC, as of March 2026, there have been an estimated 27 million cases of flu, 350,000+ hospitalizations and

around 22,000 deaths. This says nothing of the myriad other infections and illnesses floating around daycares, schools and workplaces every day. While common sense infection control (hand washing, avoiding public places when ill, etc.) goes a long way, many of us found ourselves knocked over by repeated waves of sickness this season.

“Asking for help can seem like admitting defeat when in reality, it is an essential part of avoiding burnout.”

I’ve noticed many clients using the term “drowning” when they describe trying to navigate life with repeated illness. Whether it be theirs and/or their child(ren), the disruption to daily routines is very real and can be extremely difficult. Childcare changes, missing out on planned activities and, at worst, repeated doctor’s visits or hospitalization are often incredibly stressful. As moms, we may also find it especially difficult to take the time we need to recover, especially as we care for the rest of the family. Asking for help can seem like admitting defeat when in reality, it is an essential part of avoiding burnout (or “drowning.”) Protecting and prioritizing sleep, hydration, nutrition and setting boundaries on your time are just some ways to help safeguard your health during peak illness seasons.

So as we make our way into April, hopefully leaving the absolute chaos of March weather behind (that mid-month snowstorm was especially exciting), we find ourselves on the other side of peak illness season. With the longer, warmer days and ability to be outdoors, a sense of hope returns. Making it through this winter season was difficult for many of us, however, brighter days are ahead. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy spring! n

Joseph A. Dugan Jr. Hall of Valor Inductees / Friends of Pittsburgh Fisher House Announce New Hires

By Paula Green

Every March, the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum holds an induction ceremony in the Joseph A. Dugan Jr. Hall of Valor. This year’s event was held on Saturday, March 28, to honor seven military members from Pennsylvania. They join over 700 veterans already recognized in this important collection of American military history.

Dedicated in 1963, the Hall of Valor at Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall honors veterans, both living and deceased, for their bravery beyond

the call of duty. It was renamed the Joseph A. Dugan Jr. Hall of Valor to honor the first president and CEO of the Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall

& Museum Trust Incorporated. This year’s class included five Army members: Vietnam Veterans Sergeant David Klimek (Greene

County) and Captain Laurence Novotney (Fayette County), plus World War II Veterans Captain Martin Marvich (Westmoreland County), Private First Class John Neske (Allegheny County), and Major Joseph Novotney (Fayette County). Also honored were U.S. Air Force Vietnam Veteran Sergeant John Martz and U.S. Marine Corps World War II Veteran First Lieutenant Raymond Siebert, both of Allegheny County.

Shifting focus from the Hall of Valor ceremony to another pillar of the local military community, Friends of the Pittsburgh Fisher House recently announced staffing additions. Jack McMahon has retired after 13 years on the board of directors, including the past two as President. He now serves as the director emeritus. Mary Ellen Austin has assumed the role of President.

Austin, who led the campaign for the second Pittsburgh Fisher House, brings extensive experience as President. She has been with the organization since 2013. As construction progressed, the board appointed Joe Milharcic as its first Executive Director to oversee operations.

Pittsburgh Fisher House is a “home away from home.” It provides free, temporary lodging for families and caregivers of veterans or military service members receiving treatment at VA or military medical centers.

Fisher Houses are near hospitals, keeping families close during medical crises. The VA Pittsburgh Fisher House is at University Drive, Building 33, on the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System’s Oakland campus.

Aspinwall, O’Hara Township. This addition will more than double Pittsburgh Fisher House’s capacity, enabling it to serve more families traveling for care.

Northern Connection magazine commends the new Hall of Valor inductees for their service. We also wish Friends of Pittsburgh Fisher House success as they expand to support more military and veteran families. n

Coming Out of Hibernation

By Emily King

April is my favorite month, and not just because it’s my birthday. We usually start to have consistently warmer weather (although don’t count out a spring snowstorm, it is Pittsburgh after all). I think I have whiplash from the up and down temperatures that we experienced this March, and I’m glad to put that behind me. I love seeing the world start to turn green again, spending more time outside, and having all of summer ahead of us to look forward to.

In the spring, it feels like our local communities come alive, everyone starts to come out of hiding from the winter, and the events and gatherings we put on hold for the winter start up again. Here are some of the things I’m looking forward to:

The Spring Flower Show at Phipps:

This annual massive floral show starts in late March and features room after room of fragrant spring blooms, like tulips, hyacinth, daffodils, as well as dozens of varieties you may have never even heard of.

Youth Sports Season:

As a very uncoordinated person who has never played (or been interested in) sports, it’s surprising how much I enjoy watching

my kids play sports. I’m also looking forward to getting them off the video games and out into the sunshine. There’s something about the crack of a baseball being hit and the smell of hot dogs from the concession stand that feel quintessentially of summer.

Travel:

We don’t travel much during the winter for obvious reasons. If plans aren’t sidetracked by weather, then someone is guaranteed to have a virus in my house. But travel becomes easier as we move into spring. And it doesn’t have to be anything extravagant. We love a last-minute trip to an AirBnB in Deep Creek or driving across the state to visit family in Philadelphia. Spring weather makes it much easier to be spontaneous.

Local Parks:

Sadly, my kids are getting old enough that we’re not spending as much time at playgrounds. But we’ve started to really enjoy hiking and exploring our area’s many beautiful parks. Places like North Park and Moraine State Park have countless trails to explore, and we also love finding new fishing spots. Sometimes we go on “urban hikes” by exploring local towns on foot, like Zelienople and Harmony. You notice so much more on foot than you do by car.

Local Festivals:

I love checking out the local festivals around Pittsburgh and beyond. In Cranberry Township, we have CranFest, a celebration of local diversity, which includes performances, food vendors, and different cultural activities. If you want to travel a bit outside of our area, there’s the Beaver County Maple Syrup and Music Festival. Enjoy a pancake breakfast, syrup tastings, and live music with a small-town vibe. You’ll also find plenty of local craft and vendor shows around the city.

It’s time to put that winter coat into storage (okay . . . maybe hold off until May) and get back into the community! What are you looking forward to this spring? n

What? Were You Married in a Barn?

By Janice Lane Palko

“They’re getting married in a barn?” asked my mother-in-law incredulously as she made a face and read the wedding invitation she’d just gotten in the mail. Now deceased, she received that invitation when she was in her early nineties and couldn’t fathom why anyone would choose to have their wedding in a barn. You see, she grew up on farm, and when she got married in the early 1950s, she had no choice but to have her wedding reception in a barn as her family was not well off enough to have reception at hall or restaurant.

We are approaching wedding season and wedding trends come and go. When I got married bridal registries were not all that popular. Most people just called my mom and asked what I needed to set up housekeeping. Now couples have you contribute monetary gifts online to various accounts such as honeymoon, nest egg, or downpayment for a house.

Wedding food has evolved as well. In the past, if it was a buffet, you had rigatoni, stuffed cabbage and breaded chicken. If it was a sit-down dinner, you got a choice of beef or chicken. Spreads became more elaborate over time and innovations like chocolate fountains and signature cocktails became popular. My nephew got married last summer, and they had a mashed potato bar, where you could garnish your bowl of mashed potatoes with a variety of toppings like cheese, bacon, chives, etc. That was something new to me, and we quite enjoyed it.

Wedding attire has changed with the times as well. I got married the year after Princess Diana wed Prince Charles. As I perused the bridal magazines back then, I envisioned choosing one as regal as hers was. When I went to buy my wedding dress at the Patti Anne shop in West View, many of the gowns there were styled after hers. However, I am only 5-foot, 3, and when I tried on those styles, I looked like a cocoon, with only a head peeking out of yards of fabric. I was too short to drag that much drapery down the aisle, so I chose a more simplified, classic profile.

My maternal grandmother got married in the early 1930s, and her wedding dress was like a long straight satin slip with a satin over- jacket, and she wore a cloche satin hat with cascading train. How do I know that? Because I wore her wedding dress to a Halloween party when I was in high school. My mom got married in 1958, and she and her bridal party wore tea-length dresses with full skirts over crinoline petticoats and spiked heels.

Several years ago, a lot of the women in our neighborhood thought it would be fun if we got together for an evening and brought our wedding pictures. It was interesting to see the evolution of styles. There were women who were wed in the hippie era of the ‘70s who wore long flowing gowns that looked like choir robes and added garlands of flowers in their hair. Some brides had humongous hats and wore elbow-length gloves. The ‘80s brides had shoulder pads like linebackers.

Some of the styles were ghastly in retrospect, but we nonetheless, we had a fun time seeing what we wore on such a big day. So, brides-to-be out there, my wish is that your wedding is everything that you hope it to be, that you book the venue that suits your style, and that you find the dress of your dreams. However, don’t be surprised if decades later, you’ll be chuckling at the styles. I also hope that your marriage is a happy one and far outlasts the latest trends. n

Local Author Spotlight: Geoffrey Schaefers

Emily King

Geoffrey Schaefers has been creating art for as long as he can remember. As a young child, he captured his favorite characters, most notably Sonic the Hedgehog, in his drawings. He loved Sonic’s bravery and resilience, the fact that he always did the right thing and valued friendship. As an adult, it was no surprise that Geoffrey wanted to combine his two loves: illustration and great storytelling.

Schaefers, 28, a Butler native was diagnosed with autism as a child. He lives with his family and works part time at Lowes. He also earned his associate degree in Graphic Design from Butler County Community College. So far, Geoffrey has written and illustrated six children’s books, all of which are available on Amazon.

Most of Geoffrey’s books take place in a magical place he created called “Elephant Island”. In the first story, Elephant Island: The Arrival, main character, Gregwar, is an artist who has lost his inspiration to create. He sets out on an adventure to try to spark some creativity.

That journey is quickly sidetracked as Gregwar finds himself shipwrecked by a terrible storm, leaving him marooned on Elephant Island. He seeks out the mysterious and wise old elephant, Elder Joy, for help and wisdom. As he searches for her, he meets many new friends along the way. With the help of Elder Joy, Gregwar realizes that inspiration was never lost and can be found in the relationships we have with all the unique people (or elephants!) in our lives. His journey has led him not only to find the answers he is looking for, but to find his home.

Geoffrey continues the story of Gregwar and his friends in five subsequent books, some with special holiday themes. His stories have the sense of adventure that kids are drawn to, and there is always a great lesson to be learned. All the unique personalities on Elephant Island remind readers that diversity and friendships are gifts.

An avid musician and long-time violinist, Geoffrey also wrote a book titled The Lonely Violin. The book was inspired by his beloved violin teacher, Raeann, and tells the story of a children’s music class. The children choose their favorite instruments to play, but the lonely violin is never chosen. One day, a new student comes to class and finally chooses the violin. This leads to a lifelong journey and friendship between instrument and student. The book explores themes of belonging, loneliness, and the importance of friendship. When Geoffrey presented the book to Raeann, she was overwhelmed with emotion and touched by such a beautiful act of friendship.

Geoffrey creates all the illustrations in his books. He uses the graphic design skills he learned in college to bring his stories to life visually. He starts the process with hand drawing the illustrations and then digitizing them with graphic design software, integrating the text onto the pages.

Geoffrey explains that he views his autism not as a disability but as a gift that helps him see the world in a unique way. He is passionate about spreading love and kindness, and he does that through writing and illustration, but also through the way he lives his life. His target audience, children, represent the future of the world, and teaching them these valuable lessons at an early age will help make the world a kinder place.

April is World Autism Month, and the perfect time to learn more about the individuals who are living with autism and doing amazing things with their skills and talents. For Geoffrey and others, autism is just one aspect of his life. He’s also an author, a friend, a son, a brother, a Christian—a unique person with so much to offer. When we move beyond just acceptance and truly work toward meaningful inclusion and appreciating individuals who live with autism, we can understand how unique every individual is. Inclusion doesn’t just benefit those with autism, it benefits everyone.

You can find Geoffrey’s books on Amazon. He plans to write many more books to keep inspiring and encouraging children. n

Everyone who knows me is aware; I LOVE celebrating my birthday. Blaming my mom and my grandparents for that one. I have a twin sister, Olga, and since we were little, my family always had at least two or three celebrations in our honor. So now, I follow in my mom’s footsteps and do the same for my family—why not celebrate for as long as you can?

For a while now, I have had a few wonderful groups of friends, and we love celebrating with each other. So, for this year, my birthday fell on a Thursday, (March 12,) which I was thrilled about. Izabella didn’t have a dance class, and we could celebrate my birthday as a family. Friday was the day for us to celebrate in a fine dining restaurant and then Saturday evening I had dinner planned for some of my friends. During the day, I had also planned an event for families from DSAP, (Down Syndrome Association of Pittsburgh) an organization that is very close to my heart, in honor of World Down Syndrome Day. Stations with fruits, pretzels, chocolate, sprinkles and fun activities were set up. The weekend looked quite splendid. As we were about to leave for the restaurant on Friday, the wind picked up, we experienced a power outage, got it back on rather quickly, only to lose it again until late Sunday evening. As a result, everything I planned for had to be canceled. I was beyond crushed. Not because of the restaurant I didn’t have a chance to go to, I felt sad for the DSAP families I had to disappoint. Yes, everyone said, “We understand,” but kiddos with Down syndrome were truly looking forward to this, and I wondered, “Do they understand?” I won’t lie, I was crushed to cancel on my friends; we were all looking forward to the weekend.

AND, as I was feeling melancholy, I realized that is exactly how most people felt six years ago to the date. This was the exact date we entered quarantine, everything was put on pause, I lost my business and the “Six Feet Distancing” was born. Back then my mantra was, “As long as we have roof over our heads and we are healthy we will beat his together, there are worst things in life. Normality will come back. It is all temporary.” And it did and it was.

So why not follow the mantra now? Don’t dwell on what you didn’t get. Most events can be rescheduled. Force majeure—out of human control, focus on what you do have, a clan who cares for your existence, and as long as you are well, nothing else really matters.

So yes, praising a birthday with people you cherish and who cherish you in return is crucial. It has nothing to do with materialist aspect of it, it has everything to do with BLESSINGS.

La Dolce Vita! Happy April! Cherish your BLESSINGS!!

Until next month! n

Seniors Helping Seniors Presents: “Behind

the Yoi” The

Life of Myron Cope, Legendary Broadcaster

“Teams

Win Championships, But Broadcasters Make

Them a Memory”

Long before the NFL Draft became a television spectacle, Myron Cope used the radio airwaves to announce the Pittsburgh Steelers’ draft picks in real time, giving fans the first news about names that became legends, like Harris, Lambert, Swann and Stallworth. Draft day was one of many days when Myron got to shout “Yoi,” his excited declaration word used over 35 years of broadcasting Steelers games on WTAE and later.

WDVE radio. Myron Cope didn’t just describe Steelers football — he transmitted the fierceness and exuberance of the games and the players’ personalities to every member of Steeler Nation who turned down their TV sound and turned up the radio so they could listen to Myron, and his partners relay the action.

In conjunction with Presbyterian Senior Care Network, Seniors Helping Seniors Pittsburgh Northeast is happy to announce an event timed for Pittsburgh’s 2026 NFL Draft celebration. Myron Cope biographer and Pittsburgh native Dan Joseph will give a presentation about his 2024 biography Behind the Yoi, cowritten with Myron’s daughter, Elizabeth. The book details the life and career of Myron, undoubtedly the most colorful voice in Pittsburgh broadcast history, as he built his legacy: first as a writer with magazines like Sports Illustrated, then as a broadcaster with WTAE and the Steelers.

Dan will share excerpts of Myron’s tapes, letters, and photographs, which became the basis of this very touching and frank biography. Dan will play recorded highlights of Myron’s draftday interviews and share insights into the history of Myron’s creation, the Terrible Towel, and expound upon its continued impact on fans and sports teams worldwide.

The event will be held on April 17, at 2:00 PM, at The Legacy Theater located at Cumberland Woods Village, 700 Cumberland Woods Drive, Allison Park, a UPMC Senior Communities property. Tickets to the event are free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Call (412) 742-8747.

Dan’s presentation will be followed by a book signing and a post-presentation “Meet & Greet” with the author. For more information, please contact Jeanni Watson at Seniors Helping Seniors Pittsburgh Northeast at (412) 901-0350, or by email: jeanni@shspittsburghnortheast.com.

NFL Draft Trivia

By Paula Green

From April 23 to 25, Pittsburgh welcomes the NFL Draft back for the first time since 1948. During three action-packed days at Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium, 257 players will be chosen over seven rounds. The Steelers are set to make their move with the 21st pick.

This is the 91st NFL Draft, which started in 1936 to give weaker teams a better chance by letting them pick new players first. Before that, players could sign with any team. This change helped create the competitive balance we see today.

Every team starts with one pick per round, though trades can shuffle the order. Teams gain compensatory picks at the end of rounds three through seven when they lose more prized free agents than they gain.

In the inaugural 1936 NFL Draft, league staff gathered in a hotel ballroom with just 81 players to choose from. The Eagles selected Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger first overall, but he decided not to play football and instead went into the foamrubber business.

Not every draftee meets expectations, but occasionally a hidden gem emerges. For example, Tom Brady, selected 199th overall in the sixth round by the Patriots, went on to win seven Super Bowl rings and is soon-to-be Canton-bound.

The 1974 draft was spectacular for the Steelers. They picked four future Hall of Famers: Lynn Swann, Jack Lambert, John Stallworth, and Mike Webster. These legends powered the team to four Super Bowl victories and ignited unforgettable celebrations in Pittsburgh. Moments like these define the Steelers’ legacy.

The draft was held in New York City for 50 straight years (1965–2014). The NFL switched to a rotating, multi-city format in 2015 to get more fans involved nationwide. Next year’s draft will be in Washington, D.C.

Since we have picked our way through NFL drafts, we must now select the best answers for this football query. Get set to don your best NFL apparel because it’s time to get a little trivial.

1. When the draft was held in New York City for 50 years, where was it held?

2. In 1969, O.J. Simpson was the number one draft pick signed by the Buffalo Bills. The Steelers drafted strategically that year and got this “mean” defensive lineman (#75).

3. Who was the quarterback drafted by the Steelers in the first round of 1970 who went on to win four Super Bowls?

4. Which state university did Franco Harris attend before being drafted by the Steelers in 1972?

5. Who was the quarterback selected first overall by the Colts in 1983 and later traded to the Broncos after refusing to play for Baltimore?

6. Which NFL team originally drafted Jerome Bettis 10th overall in 1993 before the Steelers acquired him in 1996?

7. Who was the No. 1 overall pick in 1998 selected by the Indianapolis Colts? He was a five-time MVP with both a father and brother who were NFL quarterbacks.

8. In which year did the Steelers draft quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in the first round (11th overall)?

9. What milestone first occurred at the 1980 NFL Draft and has happened every year since?

10. Who did the Steelers draft in the first round of 2003, nicknamed the “Tasmanian Devil” for his play as safety?

11. Which quarterback was chosen 24th overall by the Packers in 2005?

12. Which Big Ten University in a neighboring state holds the record for most first-round NFL Draft picks (91)?

13. The Steelers traded up in the 2006 draft to select which receiver? He was named the MVP of Super Bowl XLIII in 2009 for his game-winning catch.

14. This current Steeler was drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft with the 30th overall pick. He was selected from the University of Wisconsin.

15. What is the nickname for the player who is picked last in the NFL Draft? n
