Well, that's just sad...
Mr. Rogers, Fred Rogers, died this AM of stomach cancer at age 74. I don't know about the rest of you but I LOVED that show and watched it every single day when I was growing up. Mr. McFeeley would always bring those cool movies of factories and stuff so you could see how things were made. I just loved that. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood also gave me my first introduction to jazz music.
Fred Rogers will be missed.

The news showed some clips from his shows and I actually started crying (I think the only other time a celebrity's death made me cry was when Jim Henson died). His loving, gentle nature and genuine respect for people of all ages are qualities I admire--and hope to imitate. I'm glad that PBS will re-run the shows so my boy can grow up watching Mr. Rogers.
