Through the vintage, historical television archives of “KUKLA, FRAN and OLLIE” and Mr. Rogers (never viewed in theaters!), as well as lively, upbeat discussion facilitated by long-time OLLI instructors, Abby Drue and Dr. Irma Starr, we will take a closer look at those childhood messages that are still with us and how they impact us today.
