The IPOY Letter

If you've read Tim Madigan's book I'm Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers, you know that the story of this friendship essentially began with a letter. This letter written from Mister Rogers to Mr. Madigan is referred to often throughout the book as the "IPOY letter." Mr. Madigan was kind enough to share a copy of the original handwritten IPOY letter.

Also, if you missed it, Mr. Madigan was a guest on the most recent Neighborhood Archive Podcast when he discussed his book and his friendship with Fred Rogers. Take a listen.
