From one high school dropout to another, you’ll be missed Peter. Peter Jennings died today at age 67.
It’s odd the connections one makes to people you don’t know and never will, but one of the connections I made in my own life was to Peter Jennings. My mother and grandmother were both quick to remind me, at a certain point in time, that not finishing high school didn’t mean as much as I thought. They both used Jennings as an example. I’ve used that example myself, in my own mind, on a number of occasions. We’re not as large a demographic as some, but it was always nice to be so well represented. Regardless of your circumstances, it’s heartening to see people with a similar background do well.

He was a great reporter, and from what I hear a great man. He will forever missed.
