Mr. Rogers and Me

Professional photographer and Madaket neighbor Beverly Hall met Mr. Rogers shortly after his family started spending summer seasons on the island. Not only did she treasure their friendship and the fact that they shared being ministers, she produced an extensive collection of photos of him she lent to summer visitor Benjamin Wagner, who works for MTV News and met Mr. Rogers six years ago. Wagner felt so much admiration for him he is producing a documentary called "Mr. Rogers and Me."

"It is my remembrance of him and goes into details of our conversations about crucial cultural values," said Wagner. "I grew up watching Mr. Rogers, but he moved me as an adult. There are very few people in the world who have that curiosity of others. He was a really special, unique man."
