Someone asked Tim Lybarger, the founder of the Neighborhood Archive fan-appreciation website, what Mr. Rogers would think about the situation in our country today.
“I think he would be saddened but hopeful,” Lybarger answered in an article in the November 17, 2019, issue of the Dallas Morning News. “Fred was magnificent at finding the good in any situation. So, despite his frustration, his sadness or the confusion in society, I think Fred would have been able to discover the good in there somewhere, and he would have been able to capitalize and build on that good that he found, and bring that out to those who might not be able to see it otherwise.”
