I have a friend who recently received an email claiming that Mr Rogers(Fred Rogers?) from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood was a former sniper for the military. From the email he was fairly successful. I of course asked for the email but my friend had deleted it.  Could someone tell me if this is the truth so he will quit asking me to post it on the web. Of course I have told him not to believe everything he receives via email.

Here are some results from searching "Mr. Roberts"

"Thus John Denver, known to the world as a gentle, nature-loving pop singer, is transformed into his antithesis: a professional killer. (As is Fred Rogers of television's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. He too is rumored to have been a sniper, with even his penchant for long-sleeved cardigans ascribed to his hiding tattoos from the eyes of curious little tykes. Like Denver, Rogers never served in any branch of the military. He is an ordained minister in the United Presbyterian Church.)"

Hello Boys and Girls...

Can you say, "At five hundred yards, point of impact is thirty-one inches low, six hundred yards, sixty inches low."?[}:D]

See, I alway's heard the rumor that he was a convicted child molester. Anyone else ever hear that one?

No never, ever, heard anything like that.

As for the sniper thing.... When Mr. Rogers says someone left the neighborhood it kinda makes you wonder what happened to 'em.

Thanks guys.  I had never heard anything before about Mr. Rodgers.  Sounded wild that he would have been in the military. Well I guess I will have to let my friend down.

OLY-M4gery, LMAO at that one. This was discussed here a few months ago and I thought nah, no way. I have thought that he was gay though, probably no truth to that either.
