The Captain Has Left This Ship

Well this has been a tough year for some of the positive role models of my childhood television viewing. First Mr. Rogers passes away, now today the news of Bob Keeshan, aka Captain Kangaroo passing away hits the news. I can still remember sitting in the basement of my house as a child watching his show, and unbeknownst to me, I even was learning stuff. And I thought it was just fun entertainment provided by Mr. Moose, Mr. Green Jeans, and the Captain. Well, I guess the ping pong balls have fallen for the final time. In my opinion, this great big ship we all travel on with be a little less without the good Captain.
