How Was Mister Rogers as a Neighbor?

How was Mister Rogers as a neighbor?
— Fred Rogers
From Travis's 2016 curiosity journal + wall (Leadership/Authentic)

Fred Rogers weighed exactly 143 pounds for over 30 years. He did it on purpose. '1' for 'I', '4' for 'love', '3' for 'you.' His neighbors in Pittsburgh said he was exactly who you saw on television — he remembered your name, your kids' names, the thing you mentioned once six months ago. In a world that performs kindness, Fred Rogers simply was kind. His whole life was the message.
