Last weekend Kristen and I went to see the play THE CHIEF: A one-man play that tells the story of Pittsburgh & NFL legend Art Rooney, Sr., starring Tom Atkins. The play was about 90 minutes, and it went by in a blink. It was an incredible performance and Tom held the audience in his hands from the very beginning.
