Ken Laird‏@Ken_LairdReading back old newspaper write-ups of #Steelers 1st full-time training camp at St. Vincent College, as 40 vets showed up July 22 1967

Laird‏@Ken_LairdWhen #Steelers began at St. Vincent in 1967 under 2nd yr coach Bill Austin, was their 35th year without a championship.

Ken Laird‏@Ken_Laird
#Steelers QB for most of 1966, Ron Smith, retired on 1st day of camp. Both tackles quit, one to work at law firm. 1st Rd pick fired. too fat

Mike Prisuta‏@DVEMikeIn many ways change is apparent as the Steelers commence their 47th summer at SVC. I even saw Joe Greene drinking a Pepsi.
