On This Day…
In 2003, Mister Rogers died.
A tribute to children’s public television pioneer Fred Rogers will include an effort to get people everywhere to wear a sweater on what would have been his 80th birthday.
March 20th is being promoted as “Sweater Day” to honor Rogers, who died of cancer five years ago. A sweater was his trademark garb on “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”
I was never really into Mr. Rogers when I was a kid, but as an adult I always wondered if the set was made completely of wood or if they used fiberglass columns on the set. I did love their train layout, and always thought it would be cool to recreate it in my basement.
