I have four children who grew up with Mr. Rogers.

Thank you, Fred - You made a difference.

I am now an elementary school teacher, and a father of 2 young children.

I grew up, like many people, with Mister Rogers.

Mr. Rogers helped me to feel special and unique when others might have made me feel like an outsider.

He taught me how to share, how to cry, how to tie my shoes, and most importantly, how to be a friend.

Not only has he taught my children about the world around us, he also taught me, too!

It took me a long time to appreciate Mister Rogers...

I will never forget the day Mr. Rogers visited an ambulance garage...

People may call him old fashioned, but he taught me that imagination is the basis of happiness.

I would still enjoy watching Mr. Rogers' show every now and then.

Mr. Rogers was always "there for me."

Memories of watching his show are very special to me, those I watched as a child, and those I watched with my own children.

"Mister Rogers' Neighborhood", with its constant messages of love and creativity...

The one who taught her it was ok to cry.

For my son, he learned new ideas, heard lovely songs, and enjoyed the puppets. For me, I learned a lot about loving others, being a parent and a bit about child psychology.

But when I stop to think, my childhood would not be the same, I would not be the same, without this great man.
