Good Morning and Welcome to the weekend.  What a week we had last week.  Donald Trump is the first US President who has been impeached twice. His trial is predicted to start the day of President Elect Joe Biden's Innaugration . 

There is a prediction there will be some very violent events similar to Donald Trumps overthrowing the Capitol to prevent President-Elect Joe Biden's for Wednesday's Innaugration.  Many of the Capitol cities around the country are bracing for more violence too.   

Well enough of this.  Let's reflect a person whose husband represents the true blessings of loving everyone in the world, "Mr. Rogers".  His wife of 51 years, Joanne Rodgers passed away last week at the age of 92.   

She was born in Jacksonville, Florida in 1928.  Her main passion and interest was music. While attending Rollins College she met a young man who transferred from Dartmouth College to study Music Composition.  His name was Fred Rogers.  She was actually part of a student group who went to the airport and welcome Fred when he flew in take a look at the campus.  She was actually one of the reasons he decided to transferred.   

Joanne Rogers said in the interview that humans when she went to school did not go out on dates but hung out in groups of people who did everything together.  She did comment he was an amazing dancer and he won her heart.  They were married on June 2nd, 1952.  They had two sons John and James. 

Joanne Roger received a Masters of Music at Florida State University and taught music at Chatham College’s Preparatory School and Carlow College. She was always a music lover and a accomplished pianist.  She made number of appearences of Mr. Rogers neighborhood.                                                                                                   

After his death in 2003 she was involved in establishing the Fred Rogers Center in Latrobe, PA , Fred Roger's hometown, which is the home of his official archives.  The Fred Rogers Center is located at Saint Vincent University in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.   His red sweater was donated to the Smithsonian Institution but the puppets of Mister Rogers Neighborhood are at the center.

Upon her death The Fred Rogers posted on Facebook Fred Rogers Center said in a Facebook post, calling her a “trusted anchor whose heart and wisdom have guided our work in service of Fred’s enduring legacy.”   

My late Human Grandmother, Janice Friedman, was friends with Mister Rogers.  "Miss Paulificate" was played by one her friends, Audrey Roth.  Mom said that she and her family were always invited to her home on Christmas Eve for this wonderful events.  Mom said she had some great cats too. 

In early 2000 Mom was attending one her last gatherings. She turned around and there were Fred and Joanne Rogers.  Mom had met Fred Rogers a few times in her life and always found him to be kind and exactly as he was when he was one screen. Mom thinks he died a few months later.   

Rest In Peace, Mrs. Rogers and Thank You. 

Bella and Lukey's Movie Pick of The Day- Won't You Be My Neighbor    This 2018 documentary truly chronicles the life of Fred Rogers. "An exploration of the life, lessons, and legacy of iconic children's television host, Fred Rogers.  We think it's much better than Tom Hank's "A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood."
