Growing up during my early elementary years, there were 3 shows that were somewhat of a trinity on PBS. Sesame Street, Electric Company, and Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood. Now that neighborhood is a little bit more empty. Mr. Rogers died overnight.
I remember Mr. Rogers well. He showed us how crayons and pencils are made. He had Lou Ferrigno (the Hulk) on his show to talk about how monsters aren’t real.
Then there was the Land of Make Believe. King Friday, Prince Tuesday, X the Owl, Daniel Striped Tiger, Lady Elaine, Henrietta Pussycat. Do any of these names ring a bell? Did you know Mr. Rogers did the voice of almost all of the above characters?
What Mr. Rogers will be remembered for is teaching multiple generations of children that they are individually special in their own unique way.

“If only you could sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.”
-Mister Rogers
