Where would we be without Charlie Brown and the Gang!

Jim Henson

Sesame Street is the same age I am. Wonderful memories.

All of these great men are gone but I will never forget them or their work and it will be very hard for millions to forget them for many many many years to come!

We are very lucky to have their works live on!

Hugs, Lisa

  7. Charles Schulz was from St Paul and a few years back they had competitions designing large fiberglass Snoopy and Charlie Brown statues- it's so fun to see them all around the Twin Cities! They were sold for charity- I just saw a Minnesota Twins Snoopy in our local McDonald's today!
