Mr. Rogers died yesterday/today at the age of 74 from stomach cancer. I saw it on the CNN update news when I went to refill my water bottle and was quite shocked by it.
I always loved his show and I learned quite a bit from it too. How they make crayons, how they make brass instruments, and other things like topics he discussed for the day.
My sisters and I grew up watching that show and the old skool Sesame Street (I don't like the new politically correct version). I recall when I was little in the early '80's, mom would have PBS on so we could watch SS and Mr.Rogers cause she thought too that we kids could learn something new and help us along besides what she taught us and what we learned in school.
Does anyone recall the old Bill Cosby show on PBS that I think was called Bill Cosby and his magic marker? I'm not sure if thats the title or not but I do know he had a magic marker that talked and he would draw neat things with (plus it was funny to see Bill Cosby with an afro).
