"The more we can be in a relationship with those who might seem strange to us, the more we can feel like we're neighbors and all members of the human family." --Fred Rogers

A Moment with Mr. Rogers

"I interviewed Fred Rogers, creator and host of television's Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, by telephone a few years before he died. The occasion was the publication of his new book. Mister Rogers arrived on television after I grew up but I'd watched his show with our young daughter. She and I both preferred the often frantic Sesame Street, finding the Neighborhood a bit slow, sometimes a bit boring. Yet we kept watching it because we sensed something real and true behind the words and deeds of Fred Rogers and his friends and puppets on the show." Jeff Zaleski shares more in this engaging piece about his interaction with a beloved national hero.
