Will Lee (Mr. Hooper) Centennial

[Sesame Archives]

As most of you Classic Sesame Street fans who grew up, and sorely miss Mr. Hooper, might be aware that tomorrow, August 6, marks the centennial of Will Lee's birth. Happy 100th birthday Mr. Looper...er...I mean Mr. Hooper and RIP! Did any of you realize that both he and Mr. Rogers both died at the age of 74?

Wow! He had the same birthday I did. I never knew that. Nor did I know that he would be 100 today. That's an interesting bit of info.
