let's take a moment to remember
fred rogers

he is mr. rogers to zillions of people who visitied his neighborhood every day. i am sad and i know i will miss him. i believe other feel the same way. i am, however, comforted to know that he will live on video tape for future generations and i think that's as close as any of us will ever get to immortality.

the nice people at npr have a lovely tribute to mr. rogers. you may just want to listen to it. you might also want to listen to a couple of interviews with mr. rogers. or you might want to listen to this interesting story that features mr. rogers talking about being a good neighbor on this american life. (really, this is not to be missed.)

i am sure many other wonderful stories and interviews. i know that i am not alone and others have created thoughtful tributes to the life of our gentle friend, but, i just can't list them all. i think our own personal tibutes to mr. rogers are the most meaningful. for instance, today, i am telling the people that i love that i am so glad to have them in my life. maybe you can start your own tribute?

 

you can go back to my main page when you are ready, if you like.

i hope the nice people at associated press don't mind that i borrowed their photo. it really is a nice picture of him.
