THANK YOU!

Every time I've watched Dogma I've wondered why your face was so familiar. In the habit you looked a bit like the gal from
Bedazzled (the good one, with Cook & Moore) but that wasn't it! Then whilst perusing the board I find out you were on my
most loved childhood show! It was you who introduced me to opera (though Chuck Jones was to add to that later).

The easygoing style of the neighborhood, and the way you all handled issues which really matter to kids in an up-front and
serious manner totally captured me from the start...according to my mom I used to respond out loud to some of Mr. Rogers'
questions.

Now I'm a self-employed actor working primarily in schools, and find myself occasionally employing Fred-isms with the kids.
When anyone pooh-poohs PBS, I always hold up the work you all did as a prime example of its neccesity and efficacy.

Anywho, I just wanted to say a heartfelt and hearty thank you - and keep up the good work in films!
