I loved that show as a kid, but I gotta tell ya. I thought he died 20 years ago.

3. Really, I didn't know that.
"His first television appearance came in 1948, when he played the voiceless, horn-honking Clarabell the Clown on the "Howdy Doody Show," a role he created and played for five years."

4. I knew that!
And I once met Clarabell, in the Food Fair (unless that was an imposter).

RIP, Captain!

6. May the Good Captain Rest in Peace...
He brought many hours of great TV for kids of all ages.

I am sure that he and Fred Rogers are talking about all of the good they did, and how much more they could have done.

These were two of the most unselfish people that ever walked through our generation. I am proud to have been a small part of their lives.
