John Cuthbert, curator of the West Virginia and Regional History Collection, poses with Susan Hogan, director of the Wheeling Symphony, prior to a recreation performance of “It’s Wheeling Steel” at the Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling Thursday. Broadcast during the 1930s and 1940s, “It’s Wheeling Steel” was a popular radio program that spotlighted amateur performers who were Wheeling Steel employees or their family members.
Cuthbert wrote the script for the performance honoring the historic radio show.
