I spoke to Chucky Porter's son about 4 years ago in regards to interviewing his Dad for a book that my colleague was writing, but he declined the interview. When I spoke to Roger Greenbank from the FBI, he had told me that Chucky Porter was a gentleman and also was ashamed that he cooperated and gave info on his former cronies. He also said that Porter was a "stand up" guy as far as his life with his personal family and that he wasn't surprised that Porter declined the interview.


Thanks for the info about Porter. No idea what he's up to these days - I never really knew much about him. Most of my knowledge of Pittsburgh is due to the Youngstown thing.
