Anyone who was a kid guest on Mr. Roger's show, what was it really like on the show and did you maintain any values that you learned from Fred?

"I did some promotional work for WQED the Pittsburg public TV station and met Fred Rogers several times. He remembered my name several days later after being introduced to him and asked about my brother by name, who he had also met. He was the same guy in person as you'd expect him to be. He had a minute to talk to anyone who wanted to talk to him. We went out to lunch and a 6 year old girl talked to him. She was pretty much unimpressed ("...of course I get to talk to Mr. Rogers, why wouldn't I?") but he was positive and uplifting in everything he said. The little girl's 20-something mother was beside herself though, literally near tears about meeting him. He said some things about how lucky the little girl was to have such a wonderful mother and how she was doing such a good job raising such a nice girl. The mom was both beaming and fighting back tears from Mr. Rogers telling her she was doing such a good job. Honestly, imagine what Mr. Rogers would be like. That's how he was. "

"Typical "Not me but someone I know" response. In High School I had a classmate and his grandparents lived next to him. He said he'd met him numerous times and that it was really weird and cool that the Mr. Rogers you see on TV, is the actual way Mr. Rogers was. He didn't have a show persona as his persona on TV was just him being him. He talked and acted just like he did on the show. My classmate even said that there would be times he'd be outside playing and Mr. Rogers would say hey to him and like actually talk to him. My whole life I grew up thinking Mr. Rogers was pretty awesome but always with a tinge of "Was my classmate making that up?" but the way countless others online have described their interactions with him, it makes me think more and more, my classmate was legit.

I was lucky enough to hear Mr. Rogers give a commencement address the year before he passed away. It was the simplest and most beautiful message I have heard someone empart, and it was to be a good neighbor and appreciate all the people we get to experience this thing we call life with. I still think about it most days and what a gift to have had someone so special influence so many of us. And it was incredible to see the entire audience, parents, students, and grandparents alike, connect on such an innocent and beautiful sentiment.

"Let me preface this with saying my father in his youth LOVED Mr. Rogers. Backtrack to the mid-80's, my dad was a pizza delivery boy for dominos. He got a call to deliver pizza to the head quarters of some big tv channel. As he was walking to the elevator it began closing. No sooner, a wrinkly hand held the door open and a voice said "howdy there, i'll hold that for you." My father, without seeing a face, said, "Mr. Rogers, is that you?" My father stepped into the elevator with Mr. Rogers and he told my father that "he was growing up to be a fine young man". Needless to say, I've heard the story countless times and I think it's the happiest my father has ever been in his life "

I wasn't on the show, but I met someone who ended up with his house after he passed. They said all the walls were covered in buttons, apparently he kept all of them over the years. That really stuck with me because it was so nice to find that he was just being genuine and himself on tv and it wasn't a character. He really did think of all of us as his friends and care about us.

Not going to lie. I was terrified to read this thread out of fear that I would find out the last solid example my generation had as children would end up being another jerk. That being said I'm so glad I read. it made me incredibly happy to know that he was actually a good dude!

I'm 54 and still get satisfaction from takingo off my dress shoes, lining then up nearly and putting on tennis shoes at the end of the day. This, because I liked his ordered routine of changing shoes and into a sweater at the start of each show.

I sat next to him on a puddle jumper to Nantucket when I was 4, 31 years ago. He gave me a Daniel tiger doll in the airport and sat and talked with us.

"I wasn't on the show, but when I was about 6 years old, he came to my dad's house to interview him for another project that Mr Rogers was working on called "Old Friends, New Friends." Even though I was a kid, I could recognize that he was very different than other adults. He spoke differently and acted differently, and at first it made me a little uneasy. But ultimately, he was so warm and friendly that the feeling quickly passed. He had some of his puppets in his briefcase, and he did all their voices for me. He answered all the questions I had in character with the puppets. I was amazed to realize that Mr Rogers voiced characters. I remember him saying "imagination" a lot. Then he gave me his briefcase and let me go into my room to play with his puppets while he finished his interview with my dad. I remember being completely amazed that he'd trust me with his puppets. They seemed so important. Which I guess made me feel really special. Edit: more words "

I remember the first time an adult looked me in the eye while talking to me. It was one of my parents' friends at a party at our house. I was probably 5-6. And that's why I always look kids (and everyone else) in the eye while talking to them.
