At this point in time, Pittsburgh was hit with a newspaper strike.  When the dust settled in mid-January 1993, the evening paper, The Pittsburgh Press, was out of business, leaving us with just a morning paper.  As a result, it became quite challenging to find information to continue the 1992 gigography.
