He was one of the good ones.
Extremely articulate, and one…. when needed to adlib….. made it seem like it was part of the script, a very dynamic individual.
And something you see rarely in the media ...one who was not biased when reporting the news a quality the will me sorely missed.

Peter Jennings was Born in Canada.
I had the distinct honour of meeting & talking with him in February 1988 when I picked up from at the executive fight centre in Calgary, after him flying in to the city aboard the ABC coporate Jet.
Really Nice guy & well respected.

You know what always suprised me? Every time an anchorman/woman goes on a 'talk show' (Conan O'Brian comes to mind), they are freaking hilarious!! It was such a sharp contrast to the role they play on the nightly news.
I've got my TV set to turn on at 6:30 every morning, and the first thing I heard waking up was that Jennings had passed. Very sad, prayers for his family.

my parents where shocked, theyve watched Peter since he first started in the alte 60s. Apparently my mom/dad are going to quit smoking cigars for good...not true cigars those little cheap ones.

Sorry to hear of his death. The thing I thought odd, for an anchor, was the few times I watched him the past few years, he seemed annoyed when talking to the Pentagon reporter, as if Jennings were shooting the messenger. (My preference for the network anchors were Cronkite and Huntley/Brinkley. Some older than I think Murrow was much better than any of the subsequent anchors)
