![]() ![]() Then came the biggest, greatest change in all of my life. And the child I once was and the time I’d spent with Mister Rogers was all but forgotten. ![]() I know I had a little of all of those emotions in my blood by the time I was well into adulthood. Maybe we become jaded, negative, angry, or judgmental. As we grow up and out of childhood, it’s a sad truth that we thicken our skins at the realization that the world can be a pretty dark place. I could sense, even then, that Mister Rogers was caring and sincere. I loved the whimsy and fantasy that played out with puppets and human friends in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe. I loved the snapshots of everyday life in his "real" neighborhood. Mister Rogers meant a lot to me and was a big part of my formative years. We had Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. I was a child of the late ’70s and early ’80s, which was, in my mind, a kind of golden age of children’s programming on PBS.
