[Fred Schneider]

There are people out there who do make a difference!   The children of more than
two generations understood Fred and the adults also appreciated him.  Even in
retirement, I could enjoy being in the "Neighborhood."

There was a great story in the Allentown Call-Chronicle perhaps five to eight
years ago.  Rogers was visiting the Crayola factory in Easton.  The corporate
executives had attempted to orchestrate a publicity event THEIR WAY.  The place
was full of kids.  Rogers came in and the corporation attempted to turn it into a
celebration for the corporation.  Rogers took over, ignored management, and turned
it into a celebration for the children.  Perhaps he was never invited back but the
kids went home knowing they had a friend.

I guess it's OK to shed a tear or two.
