tom sarsfield's Comments

People talk about great men and women who changed the course of history through ruthless conquest, making vast fortunes, destroying competitors, and building monuments to their greatness.

Fred Rogers was great because he was nice. He made an industry (TV) take a real look at what it was doing and change (to a degree). He could talk to children in a way 5 days a week that made them feel better but also taught them lessons on how to be better. He had his car stolen and when the robber found out it was Fred's car, the robber brought it back. You cannot get that kind of respect by making a fortune in a board room or ordering troops to war. That kind of respect comes from the hard work he did throughout his life to make the world at little nicer for 1/2 an hour 5 days a week.

I hope his message endures long past his lifetime. He was a great man.
