Born in Latrobe PA.

Fred “Mr.” Rogers (b. March 20th, 1928)—whose middle name was actually “McFeeley,” which you might remember as the name of one of his recurring characters. And Rolling Rock beer “Old 33”—the 33 was apparently a typo that indicated the number of words at the end of the original slogan (“Rolling Rock, from glass lined tanks in the Laurel Highlands. We tender this premium beer for your enjoyment, as a tribute to your good taste. It comes from the mountain springs to you.”) and was left on when the bottles were printed. Or so it goes...some claim it has something to do with the Masons, which sounds juicier...
