He was a Presbyterian pastor correct? I'm glad that there was a wholesome show like his on TV when I was a kid. That's neat that you got to actually correspond with him.

I thought Mr. Rogers did a sensational job in flipping the coin in last years national championship football game.

I will miss Mr. Rogers. He seemed like such a kind man, very gentle. I wish more men could be like that!  |

I've read that book but don't see the connection? Mr. Rogers is a foolish dreamer? O.K. I'll buy that.

Ole Fred Rogers did alright.
He never did anything for me, but he sure used the abilities he was born with.

Mr. Rogers had a part of his show where a little trolley would go around a set and when it stopped the scene had moved to a make believe land where puppets and animals talked to human actors. It was ruled by "King", and the not very bad villain was the "Duchess". One of the characters was a talking donkey called "Donkey Jote". The name is a takeoff on Cervante's character, Don Quixote. It was pronounced "donkey hoetee". Who is Howdy Doody? I'm sure I don't know. I never watched absurd children's programs on TV. I also don't know who Buffalo Bob, Clarabelle the Clown, or Princess Summerspringwinterfall were. I couldn't sing "It's Howdy Doody time, it's Howdy Doody time... or could I? Tom |

Tom it encourages me that you know so much about Mr. Rogers, Yes I recall the Donkey but I didn't know his name.
I do know King Friday the XIII, Queen Sara, Prince Tuesday, X the owl, Lady Aberlin, Handyman Negri, Lady Elain Fairchild, Henrietta Pussycat , but thats all!

Don't bet on it. Remember Miss Frances of Ding Dong School? |
