In 1969, the US Senate had a hearing on funding the proposed Corporation for Public Broadcasting, but President Nixon wanted it cut in half for the Vietnam War.
I loved Mister Rogers, he was always so calm and accepting of other, and always willing to lend a hand. He taught so many children that there is true value in who they are- right now. In Mr. Roger's world, there was always a starting point. Life was never perfect but we could always choose to live perfectly. As a little kid in Jamaica,curled up on my veranda reading Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys life was never perfect, but I could always imagine the solutions. I could choose to become pinched and depressed and do nothing, or I could plan and wait for that open crack that always comes. Then, I would jump- ready- willing - able and HAPPY. Mr. Rogers was one of the reigning princes in a world with soft voices and solutions and I will always love him. He was the calm prince who cared enough to stand up for the littlest guys -KIDS!
