I watched ABC Nightline last night and they re-aired an interview with Fred Rogers in August 2001 the day he taped the last Mr .Rogers show.
They started out the segment by waiting for him at the train he'd ride into town each day. The man was stopped about every ten feet and asked if he was Mr. Rogers and thanked by so many people for being there when they were a kid and teaching them so much. He was a truly unique person and the world will miss him...
