About the Author
Written by Ken and Jackie Abel.
Ken is a native New Yorker, who was invited to move to Pennsylvania to work as a research engineer for ALCOA in 1970. He was astonished to hear words such as grinny, yunz, telepole,city chicken, zup, keller, and a host of others that did not appear in any dictionary he ever owned. In 1973 he quit his job and went into business for himself, hiring Carnegie native, Jackie Foley to work in his business. They were married in 1974 and wrote the Tongue-in-Cheek Guide to Pittsburgh in 1992. Currently they are attempting to raise their four children, ages 16, 18, 20 and 21 (what were they thinking!). Ken enjoys writing and publishing. Jackie is very active in soccer, as a high level referee, assessor, and referee and asasignor instructor, and as State Referee Adminstrator.
