This is a terrific book, moving and simple and trustworthy all at once. The wisdom, courage, and humility Mister Rogers taught our children is here continued for us adults through this careful and genuine rendering by Ms. Hollingsworth. Fred Rogers, a man of God, is a man we all need to listen to.

To Mister Rogers and Joanne, his Queen Sara:
This book is my way.
And with special dedication to my father, Ed Christin, whose bravery during the last months of his life gave me the courage to pen these pages.

Thus I set pen to paper with delight.
And quickly had my thoughts in black and white.
For having now my method by the end,
Still as I pulled, it came; and so I penned.
John Bunyan, The Authors Apology for His Book, in The Pilgrims Progress
If only that were all it took to write a book! The penning of it is only the beginningor the endingof a long process that involves many people, whom I eagerly take this opportunity to thank. My deepest gratitude to Joey Paul and Byron Williamson of Integrity Publishers for believing in this project, for inviting me into their family, and for being the careful custodians of what has become for me a sacred trust; and to Sue Ann Jones, a gentle lapidary, who skillfully refined my words and thoughts. To the Drs. Mintle, Norm (still the best boss Ive ever had) and Linda, for their guidance and help; the Pastors Kniseley, Jim and Carol, for creating an environment that resulted in the idea for this book; dear friend Zan Tyler for her encouragement and prayer and very practical help; adviser extraordinaire Steven Lentz for his wise counsel and unending patience; constant encourager and true neighbor Sandy Sullivan; insightful friend and faithful listener Rene Pleasant; gifted television producer Julie Blim for her inestimable contribution to our first visit to the Neighborhood; Brooke Boland and Sharon Sherrill for their generosity and friendship; Dotty Simpers, the David to my Jonathan; my parents, Ed and Carmela Christin, for life, for love, and for letting me unfold; my in-laws, James and Cenia Hollingsworth, for countless prayers and many practical helps; and finally, untold debt is owed to my three muses: Jeff, my muse of love; Jonathan, my muse of sacred song; and Emily, my muse of dancing.
As I was preparing to go to Pittsburgh to meet Fred Rogers for the first time, I had Uncle Al on my mind. Uncle Al wasnt my real uncle; along with his cape-donning wife, Captain Windy, he was an accordion-playing local legend in my hometown with his own childrens show. I loved Uncle Al as a child and even appeared on his program with one of my five sisters. But then one day I heard from my friends in the circle (our unadorned term for cul-desac) that Uncle Al had chased from his porch some children who stopped by his home for treats on Halloween. Now, as an adult, I was getting ready to meet the uncle of all uncles, Mister Rogers himself. My childhood psyche quickened, dislodging the memoryand loss of innocencethat had occurred when I first discovered that people arent always what they appear.
My childhood memories of Mister Rogers were less acute than those of my local icons. Mister Rogers Neighborhood began to air nationally in 1968, and by then I was moving out of its two- to five-year-old demographic. More vivid than its public television dbut were the Mister Rogers parodies that emerged during my teenage years: spoofs by Johnny Carson, Harvey Korman, and, of course, Eddie Murphy with his now infamous Mister Robinsons Neighborhood.
For many years I knew only the farcical Mister Rogers, the usually unflattering caricatures that made him famous for saying things like, Can you say television set? I knew you could. But when my two-year-old son discovered television, I was reintroduced to the real Mister Rogers, he of blue sneakers and cardigan-sweater fame. Making up for the mindless hours of
