His radical kindness, typified by a gentle and personal manner, helped bring sanity to a world beset by problems. Having Mr. Rogers as our neighbor made the world a safer place. Frederick McFeely Rogers entered the world on march 28th, at his grandparents house in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. His parents, James and Nancy, were extremely pious people, so young Fred grew up in a very religious household.

James worked at the McFeely brick company, which was owned by his father. He was a hard working, industrious man who taught these traits to his son. She had a deep love for helping others, which also was also a huge influence on Fred. In later years, Fred would fondly remember how his mother required everyone in the family to hand knit sweaters every Christmas for the troops during the war years.

Every one of the hundreds of sweaters he wore on the show was hand knitted by Nancy.
