	Floridian: A birthday surprise for Captain Kangaroo fans
		Captain Kangaroo, after all, was the show generations of American children started their days with, a sunny hour of music and jokes and baby animals and a sweet old gent who read stories with limitless patience, just for them.
		In his 1995 memoir Good Morning Captain, Keeshan describes his own childhood as largely idyllic except for his longing to spend more time with his father, an Irish immigrant who worked six-day weeks as a grocery store executive, and his pain at the death of his gentle, nurturing mother when he was 15.
		Captain Kangaroo taught such values as sharing, respect and honesty, and it was often ahead of the cultural curve on diversity and environmental awareness.

		The Captain Kangaroo character returned to TV in 1997 with actor John McDonough as the new Captain Kangaroo for the syndicated revival of the show THE ALL NEW CAPTAIN KANGAROO.

	Captain Kangaroo helped us grow up
		Keeshan's Captain Kangaroo held emotional sway over millions of children who have now grown up and have children of their own.
		His was a powerful effect, bringing the old, wise grandfather figure to little children, who have no age bias and, in fact, love the soothing comfort of someone who has a little experience in the kid game.
		You could learn something on "Captain Kangaroo," and certainly on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," but these days the great bulk of programming aimed at kids 1-5 is brilliantly crafted to stimulate learning in a way that is tested and proven far beyond the hunches and old-fashioned kindness that fueled these series we remember so fondly.

	Keeshan, Bob
		As the easy-going Captain with his big pockets and his bushy mustache, Keeshan lured children into close engagement with literature, science, and especially music, adopting an approach which mixed pleasure and pedagogy.
		Keeshan not only vividly embodied the Captain, the friendly host of the Treasure House, but also played a central creative role on the daily series, supervising and actively contributing to the scripts and insuring the program's conformity to his conceptions of appropriate children's entertainment.
		A sharp critic of contemporary children's television, Keeshan is currently making efforts to get a new version of Captain Kangaroo onto the air, but since he does not own the rights to the character, there is some possibility that the captain may be recast.
