Back to the routine

From Mr. Roger’s own website: Lady Elaine is the curator of the Museum-Go-Round, a revolving building containing collections of everything from A – Z.

Mr. Rogers dead at 74
Mr. Rogers dead at 74 Read his biography here. I have a lot of respect for Mr Rogers. Sure, the show is slow, but it’s meant for very little children. Mr Rogers thought about very little children — what their needs were, what they were thinking about — and took them seriously. My favorite Mr.… Continue reading Mr. Rogers dead at 74
