Speedy Delivery, the next generation

Alex Newell, son of David Newell, just made a cameo appearance in Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). In Mister Rogers’s Neighborhood, David Newell played Mr. McFeely, an employee (the lone employee?) of the Speedy Delivery Service. In Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, Alex Newell, a real-life mail carrier, played — what else? — a mail carrier.

Thank you, Rachel, for sending this news.

[Orange Crate Art is a Neighborhood-friendly zone. Many years ago, I took my kids to meet David Newell/Mr. McFeely at our nearby PBS station. “So you teach at the university?” he asked me. I, an academic? Was it that obvious?]
