Comment: I stumbled across an interesting rumor about Mister Rogers that I
hadn't heard before, and I'm not finding anything to either support or discredit it: Another true story: one time he received a letter from a blind girl who mentioned that she gets nervous sometimes that he’d forget to feed the fish. From that moment on, he made some comment outloud about how he was feeding the fish so she and any other blind viewers would know that he hadn’t forgotten. Is there any way to find out if this is true or not? |

I read that in one of his books, Dear Mr. Rogers. Here's the relevant passage from Google Books.
And I'll quote it here: Quote:

"You know what? I think it's time to feed the fish. Yes, it is. I'm going to feed the fish some of his favorite food. Do you have a favorite food? I do. Here's the fish now. And I'm going to just sprinkle a little of this fish food on the water, and here he comes to eat it--HOLY JUMPING JEBUS! WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER BOAT!"

I so love Mr. Rogers. It seems like most of his life consisted of sweet stories about doing things for others.
