'''Frederick McFeely "Fred" Rogers''' (March 20, 1928-February 27, 2003) was an American television personality, musician, puppeteer, writer, producer, and [[Presbyterian]] [[minister]]. He is best known for making the program, ''[[Mister Rogers' Neighborhood]]'', which ran on [[PBS]] from 1968-2001. He was from [[Pittsburgh]], [[Pennsylvania]] and of English, German, and Scottish descent. He was named after his maternal grandfather from [[Scotland]] named Frederick McFeely. His parents co-owned a Pittsburgh-based brick company. Mr. Rogers was very well known for his kind demeanor. He also never drank any alcoholic beverages nor did he use any tobacco product. He also never used profanity and was a vegetarian. Even though he supported [[gun control]] and was an [[environmentalist]], it should be noted that he was also against illegal drugs, [[gambling]], [[pornography]], and [[prostitution]]. There were rumors about him serving in the military during the [[Vietnam War]] and having tattoos covered by his sweater's sleeves. Both of them were completely false as he appeared on television frequently during the war and he was very clean cut with no tattoos at all. He had two children of his own named James Byrd Rogers (born 1959) and John Frederick Rogers (born 1961). In 2003, he died of stomach cancer.
