We live in a world in which we need to share re-
sponsibility. Its easy to say, Its not my child,
not my community, not my world, not my
problem. Then there are those who see the need
and respond.
I consider those people my heroes.

Fred Rogers, Presbyterian minister and hero
of
Mr. Rogers Neighborhood
