The gentle children’s show legend known as Mr. Rogers is being remembered by the US Postal Service.
“Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” was a staple on PBS from 1968 to 2001. And Mister Rogers himself has become part of cultural heritage, so it’s only fitting his image is on a forever postage stamp.
That stamp will be unveiled today (March 23rd) during a ceremony at the studio in Pittsburgh, PA where Fred Rogers created and filmed his show. The stamp show his in the signature cardigan sweater alongside his puppet friend King Friday.
Mister Rogers widow will be on hand as will the man who played Mr. McFeely the deliveryman.
A documentary about Rogers and his groundbreaking show, “Won’t You Be My Neighbor,” will hit theaters on June 8.
