Sadly, it's a beautiful day in my neighborhood

Fred McFeely Rogers (1928-2003), RIP

:(

I guess the Pittsburgh people know what I mean about having actually literally lived in Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I was never cool enough to talk to him or get a picture or as lucky as Steph to have Mr. McFeely come in to a class of mine or anything, but still, anyone who lives/lived around CMU knows what I mean about Mr. Rogers being our sort of local celebrity, even as a freshman you see people point to this one apartment building near campus like "Hey that's where Mr. Rogers lives!"

sigh. Well, at least he led a long and fulfilling life.

I had the pleasure of interviewing David Newell (Mr. McFeely) for WRCT. Strangely enough, it was the very same day that Dr. Ruth Westheimer gave a lecture on campus. (Both in the old Skibo Hall!)
