Rumors aside, I fail to find the inspiration you're talking about, as his method of 'teaching' was more like being forcefed a mayonnaise and sugar sandwich by a lobotomized nun. The content had no dietary value and his tv personality was nothing you'd run into in real life.

I watched it with my little cousins when they were smaller. Still watch it every now and then. One of the things that made him popular was that on the show he never tried to talk down to us he talked to us like we were human beings.
	It's OK, next time I'll make you listen. I wish that it were in the power of all children to say that to their parents and to know that indeed they would be heard as we were in those wonderful days on Waltons Mountain.Narrator The Waltons (From the Runawa

davedirt01 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 75	I have met Mr. Rogers, who was a good friend of my Aunt Phyllis, and I have to say he was nothing but the nicest person I possibly ever met. I definitely shed a few tears when he died (Feb. 27, 2003, btw). He was an ordained Presbyterian minister, and, just so you know, wore the sweaters to cover up his old army tattoos. Both he and Captain Kangaroo were veterans. dave

backasswards19 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 30	that's so strange to hear that Mr. Rogers was in the army... I can't imagine it at all... did he serve in active combat? Cause I just can't see a young Mr. Rogers waving his carbine in the air screaming "I'm gonna kill you all you gook bastards!!" Perhaps they should have referenced his old army days in the one of the shows... go back to the land of make believe and talk about how a rusty bayonet is a double threat because if the poke won't kill ya, the tetanus will. all poking fun aside... I liked Mr. Rogers.
	AWWWWW What a rush!!!

davedirt01 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 75	Sorry folks for the misinformation- did a little research about ol' Fred, and it turns out he was never in the military. I do know, however, that he was one of the nicest people I ever met. A genuinely kind person, who went out of his way to make you feel special. dave- shoulda checked snopes.com before. Damn internets! No wonder nobody likes newbies!

Ray 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 73	Mr. Rogers was our keynote speaker during a graduation at Marquette University where I went, I think in 2001. I was just a sophomore. I wish he could have spoken at our graduation because his address was pretty badass: Mr. Roger's Speech at Marquette University, 20 May 2001 RIP, Mr. Rogers.
