I don't recall the last time I heard that. I know we said it when we were kids. Did anyone else?

I just got back from the Movie show about Mr. Rogers. If you have a moviepass don't pass this one up. I learned a lot. He had an episode on divorce and another on assassination after RFK was assassinated. He spent a week on death talking in a way that was direct and understood by little children. The guy you saw on the TV was the same person off camera.

Everyday he would swim a mile and then go on the scale. He weighed exactly 143 everyday.
I have got to see this. I literally lived in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood when I was in college. I had an apartment that was on a street that ran perpendicular to where his home was. Although, I did not have the good fortune to meet him, I did have a couple of friends that knew him well and even vacationed with him and his wife. They said the same thing about him that you said above.
