  Captain Thomas Sullivan
Williams Gerard Productions' The YMCA Story(film), YMCA 150th Birthday Celebration
In the summer of 2002 in New Orleans, I played Captain Thomas Sullivan, founder of the American YMCA, for their 150th Birthday Conference there. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with such greats as: Art Linkletter, Peter Jennings, Ray Charles, Peter Paul and Mary, and the amazing Mr. Fred Rogers (pictured below).

What a wonderful man he was. I thanked him for being there for my kids when they were little.
He said, "Do you have teenagers?"
I said, "Yes."
He put a hand on my shoulder and asked, as if he were reading my mind: "How's that going?"
He read the answer in my eyes, squeezed my shoulder, and said reassuringly, "Hang in there. You'll get through it."
