Peter Jennings died........

[David Bowie]

Very sad. I didn't realize that he had cancer. RIP.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Jennings.

Whenever something happened in the world, it was your broadcast that I looked for to give me perspective and help me makes sense of it. Your grace, command of material, and when appropriate, wit on air in the most trying of times brought me and countless others reassurance and comfort. In an era of "whoever screams the loudest gets the ratings" journalism, you were dignity and class personified. As I grew up, you were part of my family's evening routine for years. And in the decade that I have been on my own, regardless of how many news channels would spring up on the cable box, you were still who I looked for first when I needed to know what was going on.

A heartfelt thank you from one of you many admirers. I can only hope my prayers for you and your family bring a fraction of the comfort you have brought to me and my family over the years.

OMG, I am still in shock. Every day since I can remember, once 6:30 hit, my Dad would be stationed in front of the TV tuned into ABC to watch the World News with Peter Jennings-I don't think he missed a day.

I also didn't realize how serious his cancer was, I thought he was getting treatment and coming back to ABC. I hadn't realized he had announced his retirement, as someone had previously mentioned. Haven't they still been calling it the "World News with Peter Jennings?"
