Peter Jennings dead at 67
Longtime ABC News anchor Peter Jennings died today at 67. Jennings had been diagnosed with lung cancer. He was the newsman I watched during the first few hours after the 9/11 attacks occurred (I did not have cable, and he was by far the best of the network anchors that day). The best thing I can say about him is that he gave me great comfort that day and helped me get through it and understand what had happened. I remember that he was basically did not leave the newsdesk until the wee hours of the night and was up early the next day. He continued that pattern for about three days and was there more than he needed to be, but as much as I needed him to be. RIP, Peter Jennings.
