Tribute to Fred Rogers of `Mister Rogers'
PITTSBURGH (AP) - February 27, 2008 March 20th is being promoted as "Sweater Day" to honor Rogers,
who died of cancer five years ago. A sweater was his trademark garb
on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood."
David Newell, who played speedy deliveryman Mr. McFeely on the
show, appears in a YouTube video that touts the event.
"Sweater Day" is the capstone to a six-day celebration planned
by Family Communications Inc. of Pittsburgh. Rogers created the
company to produce his show.
