THE NEIGHBORHOOD TROLLEY
My most prized possession is a hand carved/ hand painted trolley from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Fred gave it to me as a graduation present from art school. He signed and dated it, but the inscription read I'M PROUD OF YOU.

To get the trolley, as a gift from Mr. Rogers was out of this world! Did you know that some children thought the trolley's name was Charlie? Little kids sometimes can't pronounce the word trolley, and it sounds like Charlie. How about this, I got my trolley a few days after Bill Clinton got his. And, did you know, actor Michael Keaton got his start by operating the trolley and Picture Picture on Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
I'm Proud of You is the name of one of the songs Fred used to sing on the Neighborhood show.
For those of you who don't know about the Trolley, it's Fred's object of transition he uses to go from his interior at home set to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe.
