No worries, guys. Mister Rogers seems to be everywhere (in the US, at least) these days, so it was a simple surprise to see someone not unaware of who the character was. It's been around since the mid 70s, so I'm guessing you were likely a teenager when it first came out, Terry.
With all that said, I haven't said anything about the story.
"Look to the helpers," is a quote from Mister Rogers as advice to children on what to do after a tragedy (I think this was in the wake of 9/11 if I recall correctly). I know you don't use it here, but that awe in his voice, is exactly what I would expect from that perspective.
Was the story about one child inspiring others to make a difference one Mister Rogers used once or is it your own? Either way, I think it's a good one.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
-"Contact" (You're not her jinx, you're her blessing.)
