Mr. Rogers was a little too late for my generation to watch as children. That doesn't mean that we didn't benefit from his show. When my friend Karen had her son about 17 years ago, she fell in love with Mr. Rogers. She could set her boy in front of the TV and spend a bit of time to herself. He was mesmerized by the show. She could have some moments of peace to relax and collect her wits. What a friend he was to a young mother. Thank you, Mr. Rogers.
