Farewell, Good Neighbor
Earlier this evening a Mister Rogers Neighborhood - Behind the Scenes program was on TV. At first, it didn’t really appeal to me. This due in part to me being occupied (occupado) with the computer. Then, as soon as I heard the soothing voice of Fred Rogers I was attentive.
I watched Mister Rogers Neighborhood in the mid-80s and was fascinated with the concept of the show. To split the younger viewers attention towards a realistic and a make-believe world full of current events and themes children face in everyday life. Often, Fred would invite celebrities, musicians and make trips to a variety of interesting places and professions.
Most notable was his trip to a crayon manufacturing factory. Fred interviewed the worker at the factory in regards to the process of making crayons. More specifically a wax-based substance that is injected into paper.
Mr. Rogers was truly one of a kind. While I realize he passed away a few days back and this entry is belated at best, it’s noted that the importance of this is to honor this geniune person with a heart of gold. These kinds of unselfish individuals are hard to come by these days. Especially ones with messages of love, hope and strength.

A neighbor in all of all hearts.
