    He'll live on in our hearts and minds forever. The man was practically a saint. And now, this.

    That must've been a really progressive seminary he went to...

    Presbyterian - the thing was, he was very progressive by nature. He had this massive platform with which he could have spread any message he wanted. Instead of basing his message on religion he chose to spread a message of goodwill and knowledge. My favorite story of him was at an awards ceremony.

    Glad you posted that. I missed it when it aired originally. Yeah, he's on my Top 10 list of awesome people. :)

    There was also a PBS documentary awhile back, Mr. Rogers and Me. that was supposed to be good. Missed that one also. :mad:

    Nope - Fred was a television personality. He had a children's tv show that aired for many years. He was/is beloved by many
