Rest in Peace, Peter Jennings
While I was interning with ABC News this past spring, I had the privilege of watching Peter Jennings anchor World News Tonight from the glass overlooking the studio on the fourth floor.
ABC News President David Weston released a statement to ABC employees:
For four decades, Peter has been our colleague, our friend, and our leader in so many ways. None of us will be the same without him.
As you all know, Peter learned only this spring that the health problem he'd been struggling with was lung cancer. With Kayce, he moved straight into an aggressive chemotherapy treatment. He knew that it was an uphill struggle. But he faced it with realism, courage, and a firm hope that he would be one of the fortunate ones. In the end, he was not.
We will have many opportunities in the coming hours and days to remember Peter for all that he meant to us all. It cannot be overstated or captured in words alone. But for the moment, the finest tribute we can give is to continue to do the work he loved so much and inspired us to do.
I wish I watched more than once.
