Chicago – From the 1950s to the early 2000s, Fred Rogers found new and innovative ways to educate, entertain and enrich the lives of children around the world. He never talked down to his viewers on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” he held conversations with them. His compassionate care for his audience was not faked for the cameras. He was one of the nicest people ever to be involved in show business.
Few people knew Fred Rogers better than David Newell, who spent over three decades playing Rogers’ speedy delivery man, Mr. McFeely. The character’s original name, Mr. McCurdy, was a direct reference to William F. McCurdy, the president of the Sears-Roebuck Foundation, which underwrote the program for many years. During his presentation at April’s C2E2 convention, Newell said that Chicago was, in many ways, the salvation of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” and has consistently proven to be one of the program’s biggest supporters.

Fuquay-varina - It was a speedy two days with major stars dropping into my neighborhood.
On a Thursday night the man who made predicted FedEx arrived at a Durham library. Mister McFeely (David Newell) still fits in his Speedy Delivery uniform and hat as he greeted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood fans of all ages. Most of the ages were under seven. Luckily I had brought along a little kid in order not to stick out.
McFeely was at the end of a weeklong tour around the state to touch base with the kids. Lately whenever any star of kid focused tv shows comes to town, it’s part of some over inflated media spectacular stage show at the sports arena. There’s singing, dancing, indoor fireworks and motorcycle stunts meant to dazzle a three year old. Plus there’s a $18 convenience charge on the tickets. But this was not McFeely’s type of entertainment.
