Won't you be my neighbor?

Lately I have been intrigued with the life of the infamous Mr Fred Rogers. I have listed some interesting facts (and fables) that I found in my research of the beloved Fred Rogers.

Fact or Fiction:

Mr Rogers was a Presbyterian Minister.  -Fact-
Mr Rogers has sleeve tattoos.  -Fiction-
Mr Rogers received an Emmy for Lifetime Achievement.  -Fact-
Mr Rogers was Marine Sniper in Vietnam.  -Fiction-

 As I read about him I was humbled, he had such a big heart. This inspirational man dedicated his television career to empower parents and children to deal with the issues of life, and not just sweep them under the rug. He truly cared about the people in his life, including the viewers of his show.

My intrigue has grown into a craving for him and his story. I have been reading many online articles about him, (not in a creepy way). To be honest, I was disappointed when I found that his shows weren't available on Netlix:( I know that I sound kind of crazy right now but Mr Rogers has definitely been added to my personal 'hero' list. I hope that throughout my life I will be able to do good and to make an impact on someones life the way he has mine.
