By the way, who's Mr. Rodgers?

 

The best Jedi Master of younglings since the 60's, 70's ...

 

With some lucky guesses, I got a 10 out of 10. (the first time too)

I met Mr Rogers twice. Mr Rogers used to walk across the CMU campus a lot on his way to
work at WQED (which is one block over on 5th Ave). I was reading on the grass, talking
with friends, and he heard us and interrupted us, and chatted for a couple minutes.
(about what, I cant remember). This was 1980.

Then the next year, our fraternity volunteered at WQED to man the phones during pledge
drive, and I met him again then. I also saw the whole neighborhood of make believe.
It was pretty cool.

Despite being the target for way too many jokes, he was a good man. And certainly NOT
the simpleton most people take him to be because of his behavior on this show. I
respected him and still respect his principles on how children should be treated, and
communicated with.
