TU Tuesday

Where did he become so educated?
If he smells like beer, and is homeless, how does he recieve money?

I find it interesting that Poppy is kind of the leader of the table, and that all the others listened to him with passion.
I also think its interesting that Poppy invited him to his "house" without even really knowing him.

If his best work was on the Harry Reasoner show, why didn't he stay there? Did he get fired?
Are the letters recieved at the CBS office mainly replies from Roonies recent articles?

I find it pretty interesting and hard to believe that an 82 year old man loves working with tools and crafting things.
I also found it interesting that his columns are published in 147 newspapers worldwide!

Why would he decline autographs and such when fans approached him?
Were his columns supposed to always complain about something, and always find the bad in something good?

I found it interesting that he met his wife in the sixth grade, and were married until her death.
I also found it quite interesting in that he said he was going to work to his death; and when he retired, his death happened a week later.
