Mr. Rogers was the best!! He was definately a great father figure. It’s amazing how even as an adult you get that warm all over childhood feeling just by singing “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”.

I loved watching Mr. Rogers, even after I was grown, because you could tell that he truly cared for and respected not only children, but all people. He was truly a lovely man.

How lovely! I love a passionate, peaceful man; Mr Fred Rogers is a fine example. What an inspiring gentleman.

I heard that Mr. R was a Presbyterian minister. True? (That’s one rumor I can believe!)

What nice man MisteRogers was and what good news he brought to children and adults. We need more nice men and much more good news. Wouldn’t it be great if Fred Rogers could address our leaders in Washington about what to do when they are mad mad mad! Instead of invade!

God, if only people still cared this much about quality programing for kids.

I find it fascinating that, at the very moment that Sen. Pastore was talking about having goosebumps from what Mr. Rogers was saying, that I had goosebumps too.

During my immature college years, we all made fun of Mr. Rogers. It was not until I was much older that I was mature enough to understand what a treasure he was.

Thank you, Fred. Won’t you be my neighbor?

great post, Mary!

I read an interview with Fred in an Esquire a while back (one of their “What I’ve Learned” interviews) and he said one day, long after he’d retired, he got on a subway in NYC and everyone kind of looked at him, and he smiled, and then in unison they all started singing “It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.” I think he said it was one of the greatest feelings in the world.
