Today is Mr. Rogers' birthday. He would have been 86 years old.

In his lifetime he accomplished so much. He wrote all of the songs for his show "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood', penned several children's operas including one called "All in the Laundry", answered all of his fan mail personally, no matter how much it piled up and he earned more than 30 degrees.

We honor his birthday and memory with this video of him singing the birthday song.
