Peter Jennings died... :(

[MoonLit Meadow]

Just saw this breaking news...Peter Jennings died at home. He was 67...not sure if anybody cares, but it really caught me by surprise :( The article said he lost his battle with lung cancer.

Anyway, it's just kind of sad...thought I'd share. I guess you just get so used to seeing somebody in the public eye your whole life, that it's kind of shocking when they're gone...like any death at all I suppose... :(

My prayers and regrets to him and his family. May he find happiness where ever he goes.

Thanks MM, I was hoping he would beat it.:(

Me too. It's really very sad, and my prayers will also be with his family. I hope that in my lifetime, a cure for cancer is discovered...its taken way too many people that I love away from me too soon...and obviously it affects just about everyone in some way or another. :(

Sad news indeed. :( You're right, MM....you get used to seeing someone everyday.....it is a shock. My sympathies are out to his family.

That's just.....weird to hear. I didn't even know he was sick.

WHAT?! I didn't know this. I have been sitting too much here with no tv on or anything.........He may have been 67, but he looked younger to me somehow. I liked him anyway.........:(

I liked him too nine...he was a real class act, that's for sure.
I read that he logged over 60 hours in a week covering the 9/11 attacks...that's dedication.

I am not a big fan of Jennings but he was way too young.

Moms boyfriend, asshole that he was, died of lung cancer last year.

You find out about it and 6 months later youre taking a dirt nap. Nasty shit and it moves quickly.
