One year ago today, one of America's great journalists, Peter Jennings passed way from lung cancer.

I still kind of get choked up a little thinking about it. His insights would have been so valuable given the world that we live in today. His middle east expertise during this conflict would have enlightened us all.

His death was a tragic and yet so preventable loss. Hopefully, one outcome of this is that people were inspired to quit smoking.

Yep. Peter Jennings was a great journalist.

How true.

And it's difficult to realize that a whole year has gone by since his passing.
