Celebrating Mr. Rogers
...
Knitting a cardigan sweater
We know we have much to thank Mister Rogers for. So do our children, in fact. Without Mister Rogers, our children may not have made it to adulthood. We can remember the witching hour before dinner. Those five o-clock blues. If we hadn’t had Mister Rogers and his show Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood, as mothers we might have lost it. What saved us was that half-hour show!
 
On March 20th, the TV personality (who died five years ago from cancer) will be honored on what would have been his 80th birthday. Sponsoring the celebration is Mister Rogers’ production company, Family Communications Inc., of Pittsburgh.
 
Here’s a man whose mother knitted his cardigan sweaters, more than 24 over the course of his TV appearances. An ordained Presbyterian minister, he studied music in college, and got his start in public television with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He never smoked, he never drank and he was a vegetarian who swam every morning. He wrote 200 songs in his lifetime and was famous too for his sneakers.
