I called it the "Captain Kangaroo"... None of us (8) knew he had died until just now. weird. As we drank those last night - a couple each - we talked about that show for a good 30 minutes. We must have been in sync with the good Captain. He was MUCH cooler than Sesame Street or Mister Rogers or any of the other "watch and learn" shows of childhood.
