I consider that man a great man. We have the choice to demean life or to cherish it is what Mr. Rogers taught us.

It is a sad, sad day in the neighborhood...

May God provide him eternal happiness in return for his humanity and respect for our children...

Mr. Rogers (http://channels.netscape.com/ns/news/st ... tm&sc=1401)

I watched Mr. Rogers for as long as I can remember. He was inspirational to children and adults as well. His friends say he was the same at home. That gentle soul of life will be Missed.

Yesterday when word of Fred Rogers' death went around Pittsburgh, and I don't exagerate here, grown men wept.

Fred Rogers lived near me and we attended the same church. Did you know he was an ordained Presybterian minister? He was quiet, kind, and soft spoken, and had the same ready smile for everyone he met. The delight and interest he showed children on TV was perfectly genuine; he greeted every child (and most adults for that matter) in just the same way.

This was a man who could have made millions by licensing and franchising the characters from his Neighborhood, but to Mr. Rogers' credit, there never was and never will be a Henrietta Pussycat Happy Meal at McDonalds.

I dread going to church this Sunday. The place will seem empty.

Having grown up in Canada, I did not have the pleasure of watching Fred Rogers. Actually I was 15 or so before I saw my first TV, and that was so snowy it was laughable.

Anyway, back to the point: I attended Indiana Tech, beginning in 1956 or so, and it didn't take long for me to hear about Mr. Rogers. I still don't remember ever watching the program, but there is no doubt, from all that I have heard, that he has had a profound and positive effect on a lot of people in this country. How much better a man like that then all the mindless cartoons on the tube these days!

Rest well, Mr. Rogers, you have earned it.

For thoes off you that have never seen an angle i say to you .You have never seen Fred Rogers.
