Turning 75 next week (!) and it's still our comfort show, too. 😉

u/Aggravating_Hippo_2 in the r/Arthur subreddit : "Am I the 20 year old who still watches Arthur? It’s my comfort show. I literally know every episode in and out, and I can’t get enough of it. I feel embarrassed to admit that I still watch it as a college student, but I know I can’t be the only one."

57 years ago, Judy Griffin's car broke down en route to Woodstock. She poked her head inside a nearby 1967 VW Beetle to ask for a ride... and found Jerry Griffin sitting in the backseat. More than half a century, two sons and five grandchildren later, the couple still haven't left each other's side.

Two years ago, Jim Faust lost his son, Adam, to addiction. Jim found solace in fly fishing, rooting himself in the peace and calm of nature. Then, he decided to share that solace with people facing similar struggles by starting a nonprofit where he teaches fly fishing to those in addiction recovery.

PBS kids have the best sick days.

Thread from @thecoolestkate reads "In kindergarten I once stayed home sick from school watching PBS all day and learned to draw a fruit basket (on notebook paper). When I gave it to my mom she was so impressed, she said the banana looked real and she bragged to other people and treated it like treasure and now ~30 years later I’m an artist. I was always an artist, but I first believed it because she did."

This year, #PublicMediaGivingDays carry even more meaning. Last year, we shared that federal funding for public media was at risk. Today, that funding is gone. Community support is now the only way to move GBH and public media forward!

"Started watching GBH in 1967, at the recommendation of my 2nd grade teacher. She opened up a world that I cherish to this day, almost 60 years later. From Mr. Rogers at seven years old to Boston Public Radio at 65, I've received so much more than I could ever give back! Thank you!"
