Mr. Rogers also:
Convinced Congress to increase PBS funding from $9 million in 1970 to $22 million the next year. Answered every piece of fan mail he could manage, personally. Was greeted in sign language by Koko the gorilla with "I love you, I love visit." Advocated (sometimes with poetry) in front of government committees that the then-nascent VHS/Betamax industry not be squashed before it could start, on the grounds that kids deserved to be able to go out and play, then come home and watch his show whenever they wanted. The MPAA got slapped down by the Supreme Court because of his testimony on the issue. Was married to the same woman for 51 years. Was an ordained Presbyterian minister. |
Fred was the real deal.

[probably offensive hot take]I wonder how his life would have turned out differently if it had been socially acceptable to be gay when/where he grew up.[/hot take]
|
not offended.
I reckon his life would have turned out the same. He seems very well grounded, which has nothing at all to do with sexuality. |

There is a color-blindness simulation plug-in in photoshop, it does not include Tritanopia, which is extremely rare, but does include Protanopia and Deuteranopia. Here are the cardigan colors as Mr. Rogers would have seen them, depending on which type of color blindness.
Here is a link to a picture simulating Tritanopia: https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic2262111_lg.jpg https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic2262111_lg.jpg |
He had terrible taste in colors then, because those are hideous.

Bah, Mama don't knit no hideous cardigans 'cause she loves him, she loves him, she gets down on her knees and hugs him. :p:

From some of those sweaters, I wonder if she even liked him. |

That makes more sense. I figured his mom must have been a knitting fool.
