And I once met Clarabell, in the Food Fair (unless that was an imposter).

He brought many hours of great TV for kids of all ages.
I am sure that he and Fred Rogers are talking about all of the good they did, and how much more they could have done.
These were two of the most unselfish people that ever walked through our generation. I am proud to have been a small part of their lives.
