Mr. Rogers “died today.”:http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/TV/02/27/rogers.obit/index.html Some of my earliest memories are of watching his show on PBS. I was about as old as Laini is now. She has watched the show a few times in reruns, and she seems bored. Today’s kid TV is so whiz bang that watching Mr. Rogers quietly change from his loafers to his sneakers doesn’t do it for her. Too bad. I hung on every word and when his show came on I felt like I was safe with a friend.

I watch some of today’s programs and it’s sad to think that there probably won’t be anyone that she will look back at 30 years from now and have the same affection and nostalgia.
