"The connections we make in the course of a life--maybe that's what heaven is, Tom. We make so many connections here on earth. Look at us--I've just met you, but I'm investing in who you are and who you will be, and I can't help it."

-- Fred Rogers, quoted in: "Can you say . . . Hero?" by Tom Junod, Esquire, November 1998
