On this special, Thanksgiving weekend holiday broadcast, we’ll talk with Pittsburgh author Robert Matzen, about one of Hollywood’s most-famous stars – who had strong roots, in Western Pennsylvania: Jimmy Stewart.

Matzen has just released a compelling account of Stewart’s painful, yet heroic efforts in World War II – as an United States Army Air Corps Flight Commander – in the new book – “Mission: Jimmy Stewart and the Fight for Europe”.

Matzen will share thoughts about the impact that Indiana, Pennsylvania and World War II left – on Jimmy Stewart’s life – and how the war changed both him – and America.

The Sunday Business Page

CBS2-Pittsburgh-6:30 a.m.

This Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., on KDKA-TV’s “The Sunday Business Page”, with KDKA-TV’s Money & Politics Editor Jon Delano:
On this week’s broadcast – what kind of Christmas shopping season will it be – for shoppers, and merchants? Consumers, who were recently surveyed say that they might be willing to spend more this year – than last Christmas – but, that they are worried about job security, the  state of the economy, and their financial “wellness”. Some consumers say they will spend less – than last year. We’ll ask Duquesne University’s Associate Professor of Marketing – Audrey Guskey, Ph.D. – for her thoughts on holiday shopping, and when to get the best deals, on merchandise.

Then, we’ll introduce you to a fascinating place to shop in Downtown Pittsburgh, for Christmas gifts: the Peoples Gas Holiday Market, in Market Square. Our guests include Jeremy Waldrup – President & CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership –  and Kelly Sobczak – from Global Girl Gifts – a vendor, at the Peoples Gas Holiday Market, who practically scours the world, for the most interesting, beautiful gifts.

Finally, the inspiring story of the fight, in Pittsburgh – against ALS – better-known, as Lou Gehrig’s Disease – and the heroic efforts of Suzanne Alexander – who lost her young husband, Neil, in 2015, to that disease – to unlock the secrets of ALS, slow its progression, and perhaps, ultimately find a cure.

Suzanne and Neil – just after his ALS diagnosis – founded “Live Like Lou” – a donor-advised fund of the Pittsburgh Foundation, to raise awareness of ALS, provide comfort and care, to its victims, and support scientific research to study ALS.

Suzanne Alexander joins us – Sunday morning – to talk about a recent donation from “Live Like Lou” – for $500,000 — to the University of Pittsburgh’s Brain Institute – to advance research about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Also with us, is Chris Donnelly, Ph.D. – Assistant Professor of Neurobiology, at the University of Pittsburgh, and a member of the University of Pittsburgh’s Brain Institute and Live Like Lou Center for ALS Research.

Please join Jon Delano, Sunday morning at 6:30 a.m., for “The Sunday Business Page”, on KDKA-TV.
