Fred Rogers

DOB: March 20, 1928

Passed Away: February 27, 2003

He’s been gone 10 years now. He was a man who believed in positive messages, in treating children with love and respect and kindness. It’s sad that he was a rare and special few instead of the rule.

Everyday he said, “I like you just the way you are.” and you can’t help but be changed by that.

In honor of him, let’s each take a few seconds to think of the people who have helped us become who we are.
