While in the Big Apple, the Oklahoma native visited MTV\u2019s popular TRL program and met comedian\/actor Robin Williams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"msonormal\">Chitwood was in New York with his family for his brother\u2019s graduation from the Juilliard School. His brother finished with a degree in vocal performance, with a focus on opera. The family all flew in for his senior recital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"msonormal\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/www2images\/Rupert-for-blog.jpg\" align=\"left\" alt=\"\" \/>Chitwood\u2019s mom had a brush with a pseudo-celebrity, of sorts, \u2013 with a Wabash connection. She was shopping and stopped by the David Letterman Show then visited the neighboring deli that Letterman often features on his program. The deli owner, Rupert, was in the store that day and just happened to be wearing a Wabash College shirt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"msonormal\">It turns out the shirt was given to Rupert by Collin Lanam &#8217;06 right after Colling graduated from Crawfordsville High School before starting his freshman year at Wabash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"msonormal\">Williams and Rupert weren\u2019t the only celebs the Chitwood family encountered. Bryce also met JoJo during the TRL program&nbsp;then ran into Julia Roberts who was exiting a Broadway theater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Howard W.
