Won't you wear a sweater?

I got this email today:

In honor of what would have been Fred Rogers' 80th birthday this Thursday March 20th, Family Communications, the non-profit which he founded, is asking everyone to wear their favorite sweater in tribute to Mr. Rogers' faith in community and togetherness.

David Newell, who played "Mr. McFeely" the mailman on The Neighborhood and the Public Relations Director of Family Communications, says the following:

"We're asking everyone everywhere — from Pittsburgh to Paris — to wear their favorite sweater on that day... It doesn't have to have a zipper down the front like the one Mister Rogers wore on the program, it just has to be special to you." You can find out more information at the FCI link below:

Please share this with your friends and neighbors.
