I actually wasn't even born yet. I know though that he has influenced me as a writer, as an artist, and as a person. I know I would have never made it through my art class without his influence. Jim Henson has been a positive influence on me simply because of the legacy he left in place with his...

Hey has anyone found out anything about the condolance/ letters of rememberance yet?

As Jerry so quaintly put it as the Trash Heap "You cannot leave the magic"

I was singing as a cantor for my church this morning. And the music was rather difficult. I sat on the altar and I prayed for Jerry and I just sang my heart out this morning and hit notes confidently, even the ones I found difficult. One of the songs had a phrase that was about giving our...

He likes to joke around a lot and plus he was a music teacher for awhile so he loves music of all kinds. He was just kind of playing around with us because our classroom was so hot and we were all falling asleep (myself included). He was trying to make it fun I guess and he succeeded for me at...

I don't know if I'm strong enough for any Fraggle Rock right now much less that episode. I was just thinking about college and leaving and making decisions and all the things Gobo seemed to have gotten me through. All my indesiciveness and all the things I've tried to do and the quests I'm...

All I have to say is even the teachers know how big a fan I am. I'm uncertain if people think it's cool or if they think it's weird but in all honesty I couldn't care less. I think people pick on me for it or make a joke out of it. But then I realize, THEY are the one's missing out not me. I...

I know this has been mentioned but will someone please comment with updates as to whether or not there is a place in which I can send a condolence card/drawing/poem to the Muppet company for Mr. Nelson? Please, please let me know. Thanks Gobo

You have no idea how hard I was squeezing my stuffed Gobo. Since 4th grade he has traveled every camping trip, every church retreat and every moment I have been away from home he's always been there for me. He'll continue being there for me as I go off to college one of our last great...

I can't read this with out crying.

Don't worry I'm afraid to too. I want to listen to the Fraggle songs on my iPod but I'm worried about my reaction if I do.

I've learned quickly on here there are a lot of us who came into the Muppets after the deaths of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt. I myself am a HUGE Fraggle fan. When I was 16 I requested to go to the Muppet exhibit in Chicago. On my birthday! (We did) It was amazing. My fondest memory was scurrying...

I don't know what to say. Gobo was always my favorite Muppet and character in all of the Henson TV shows. It was what kept me hoping for peace as a child and keeps me trying to be a leader and bring peace to the world today. Mr. Nelson has been my inspiration and my hope as I've tried to cope...

That's actually awesome I'm not going to lie. I should do that in a random class sometime. Hop on a chair and scream Jim Henson. I did a speech on the company once last year for speech class. It was pretty awesome. I got like a B on it but the teacher who graded it rarely, if ever, gives As.

Totally agree. I love Statler and Woldorf. They are made of win!

Agreed. And you don't sound jerky at all. I promise. I sometimes come off a little bit child like so it's alright. :D I totally understand what you mean though. Muppets Christmas Carol comes to mind.

Don't worry I cry sometimes at that part too. The thing I remember is their always with us. The good thing about it is we're here to carry on the stories and message. They would want us to remember and to be happy. At least that's how I see it. I was born just a few years after Richard died and...

I missed last year too. Don't feel too bad :D

Same. The Rainbow Connection is such a great song and to watch all the preformers do it together, old and new. It was kinda awesome. When you think about it some members from the original show would be preforming that along side memebers that have only begun their time with the company. It's...

I rang for a solid 28 minutes while one of my sibs and I juggled those little colored jingle bells. Another sibling got in on the action with a cow bell too. It was pretty sweet. :excited:
