In Memory of Mister Rogers
Twelve years ago today Fred Rogers passed away at the age of 74. As mentioned previously, Footnotes owes a great deal to Fred Rogers and the Mister Rogers Memorial Scholarship.
Our favorite memories of Mister Rogers are of his visits with Koko the Gorilla. We love these photos of Koko removing Mister Rogers’ shoes and socks.
Mr. Rogers Memorial Scholarship
Footnotes: A Sockumentary is funded in part by the Mister Rogers Memorial Scholarship. We are honored to be associated with such an amazing person who had a tremendous impact on children’s television. His gentle, honest, and imaginative program touched children’s lives for over 40 years.
The scholarship supports students pursuing children’s media projects by providing funding and professional guidance. The deadline is February 8, 2015.
