His Legacy: Art, Education, and Helping Others
By Tammy Drobina
It’s been said that the average person will have three separate careers during their adult life; in this way Chuck Borsari is average. In other ways, not so much.
The kid from a poor family in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, worked many jobs to earn money, like setting pins in a bowling alley. “When no one was bowling, I got to hang around the pool tables and learned to love the game,” Borsari recalled. He still enjoys shooting pool with friends in his spare time (if you’ll pardon the pun) and the mix of work and pleasure is a lesson learned early that he’s
always kept.
A chance encounter on the streets of his hometown led to his first career as a newspaper reporter. “I was just out of the Army and didn’t have a job, or a college education,” Borsari said. “My mother used to clean house for the people who owned the [Latrobe Bulletin] newspaper.

His next newspaper job came in Ashtabula, Ohio. “I didn’t know all the snow we got in Latrobe came from Ashtabula,” he laughed. “It was horrible - snow from Halloween to Easter.”
Although the weather conditions may have been less than favorable, Borsari called his time at the daily Ashtabula Star-Beacon “probably the greatest learning experience in journalism I ever had.”
His duties included not only writing but photography, ads, layout, and everything else.
As a beat reporter he would be sent to a location and told to “find a story.” He’d talk to people and look around until he found an interesting topic, once turning activities at the quiet winter harbor into a five part series on how the shipping industry impacted the local economy all times of the year.
He wrote stories on his “loyal Royal” typewriter and pounded the keys so hard the inside of some of the letters fell out. There were no computers and certainly no inter
