Celebration Road show in the spring of 1973 we were doing school shows every
day (K through college) and we made it at rule to watch Mr. Rogers every day
to steal stuff we could use in our shows. We watched The Muppets, too,
and of course I enjoyed them; but the real surprise was Fred Rogers: I
became addicted to him. An ordained minister who understood ministry
to kids: unique. <BR><BR>Charlie</TT></BLOCKQUOTE>
