Absolutely. And when Officer Clemmons didn’t have a towel, Mr Rogers casually and effortlessly shared his. It was truly a remarkable moment. Years later, we discovered François Clemmons (the actor) had shared with Fred Rogers that he was gay; however, Fred decided to keep Clemmons sexuality private.
