He used to drive in front of my fraternity house at Carnegie Mellon quite often. We kept a bucket and squeegee on the porch and would run out and clean his windshield every time he was stopped for the traffic light at Forbes and Morewood.

A bunch of us also volunteered at WQED and he once gave us a tour of the set. We loved that we lived in Mr Roger's Neighborhood.

I'm glad you treated/honored the man as he deserved. Also, lucky to have this memory!

No fair. All you have to do is mention Mr. Rogers and I’ll upvote you.

I cried so hard the day he died. He was a good man.

He is an honorary member of my music fraternity. Phi Mu Alpha. (I think he’s honorary. Piano player. Or he is a legit member. I don’t remember).

I think he was an honorary, but Andy Griffith was a full member from Rho Tau at App State. OAS!

If I remember correctly, Andy Griffith was not great nor should deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Mr. Rogers

Not to sour the tread but can you elaborate. I'm not familiar enough, but knowledge is power.
