I wanted so very badly to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaJQLgiXKO0

The embed at YouTube was disabled. It was Mister Rogers winning his lifetime achievement award. I haven't been able to find an embed yet.

What a wonderful, beautiful, loving human being. He inspires me to want to be a better parent and a better person.

ok .... now i'm teary all over again from watching him accept his award (from your link), swampgirl!!

i really wish someone could find that embedded code!!

Me too, LB. He comes up there and makes everyone in the audience cry. If I were one of those glammed up soaps stars sitting there, I'd feel pretty shallow walking up for an award after that.

My wife introduced me to the world of Mr. Rogers when we had our first baby. Downstairs, where we hang out, is a framed newspaper article entitled, "Children Lose a Gentle Friend."

Well, I did, too.

awwww, silvercord! that's so sweet!

Thanks so much for that link, swampgirl, I'd never seen the video for that. It's a shame we only get one upvote per video. :~(

Guys, check out this: http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%22+Archive+of+American+Television+Interview+with+Fred+Rogers%22&lv=1 from http://digg.com/tech_news/Mister_Rogers_interview_9_part_series_(4_hours_)_via_Google_Video_

Mister Rodgers was one of the greatest men ever to walk this planet. It still feels empty to turn on the television and know that he is no longer there. There is a special place in Heaven for him.

Thanks for the promote and for all of the recent Rogers sift.

My daughter is now a devoted fan of Mister Rogers. I just realized the other day that Fred Rogers is doing the show on his lunch break. Just comes home and provides so much information, care, and fun on his break. Heroic.
