		Rogers tended to the trick-or-treaters, but I have a suspicion that Mister Rogers, while perhaps wary of hijacking the costumed childrens' limelight, was always nearby.

		For 33 years, "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" provoked laughter, wild feats of imagination and a sense of uniqueness in the children who were fortunate enough to spend 30 minutes in Mister Rogers' televised presence.

		Rogers' kindly TV persona, and the sense of unhurried calm it creates, is no accident: Everything in the Neighborhood is geared toward Rogers' belief that preschool children need the comfort provided by a slow, simple format.
		In part, that's because Rogers is renowned for being picky about endorsements and tie-ins: He makes no commercial appearances (he won't even participate in PBS station pledge breaks) and has limited the marketing of Neighborhood products to books, videos and a few basic toys that he believes can help stimulate a young child's imagination.
		Yet Rogers hasn't lost his faith in television, or his belief that it can be used to spread the basic message he has preached to children for 33 years on his show: that they are loved and capable of loving.

		The ophthalmologists did not want to scare children, so they asked Mister Rogers for help, and Mister Rogers agreed to write a chapter for a book the ophthalmologists were putting together—a chapter about what other ophthalmologists could do to calm the children who came to their offices.
		Because Mister Rogers is such a busy man, however, he could not write the chapter himself, and he asked a woman who worked for him to write it instead.
		She worked very hard at writing the chapter, until one day she showed what she had written to Mister Rogers, who read it and crossed it all out and wrote a sentence addressed directly to the doctors who would be reading it: "You were a child once, too."
