SHARON — Early one morning, about a dozen or so years ago, Tom Moore pulled up in his taxicab at UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh to pick up a young husband and wife.
They, and their child, had gotten to the hospital by ambulance, but they had no way to get back to their home in Braddock. and no money to pay the taxi fare.
A hospital security guard waved him over to the telephone. Braddock Mayor John Fetterman was on the other end.
“He said ‘I’ll cover the fare all the way to Braddock,’” Moore said.
That was the night Moore became a John Fetterman supporter.
“I thought that was really good,” Moore said. “That really impressed me.”
