Changes

   

The world, but especially the city of Pittsburgh, lost two important institutions on this day. Myron Cope (d 2008) was the voice of the Pittsburgh Steelers for many years.  Known for his Pittsburghese accent and his many colloquialisms, it was very difficult to listen to a Steelers game this year without hearing his voice.  Also, Fred Rogers (d 2003), AKA Mr. Rogers of Neighborhood fame, was born and raised, and lived most of his life, in the Pittsburgh area.  His show, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, was a paramount of early childhood values for years.  As a child, I preferred watching his show over any other available at the time, and  admittedly, I still watched his show from time to time into my twenties, to reminisce about simpler times.  These two individuals helped to shape who I am today, and they will be missed.
