Anchor Peter Jennings died yesterday at his home in New York City. He was 67. On April 5, Jennings announced he had been diagnosed with lung cancer. I never knew, but then how could I? I don't watch the news much. It is weird. Because I grew up with Peter Jennings on the news. So had my parents. I had gotten use to the idea that Peter Jennings would always be there reporting the news. I liked Peter Jennings. I think it was his voice. It was always so calm and smooth. He will be missed.
