Growing up was easier with our Favorite "TV Neighbor"

Who can't admit it?  Some days, Mr. Rogers just made you feel good.  Some of us may have made fun of him when we got older, but really, we loved him.  And he genuinely loved us, "just the way we are".  I recently came across some videos of his life and work on youtube and felt compelled to put him out here on Squidoo.

I hope you all enjoy remembering him as much as I do.

Thanks Mister Rogers for all you did for us. We will never forget you.

About Mister Rogers 

Fred McFeely Rogers (March 20, 1928 ? February 27, 2003) was an American educator, Presbyterian minister, songwriter, and television host. Rogers was the host of the television show Mister Rogers Neighborhood'', in production from 1968 to 2001.

Lyrics to "Won't You Be My Neighbor" 

Words and Music by Fred M. Rogers

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood,
A beautiful day for a neighbor.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood,
A neighborly day for a beauty.
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?...

I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.
I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

So, let's make the most of this beautiful day.
Since we're together we might as well say:
Would you be mine?
Could you be mine?
Won't you be my neighbor?
Won't you please,
Won't you please?
Please won't you be my neighbor?

A funny take on Neighbors 

This guy just needed a litle sugar!

From my friend Mountain Jim who lives in a log cabin in the mountains. Mr Rogers' influence is everywhere!

Neighbor Comes Over for Sugar

One of my friendly neighbors came over for a little "sugar" the other day...enjoy! Mtn. Jim
