I grew up watching Peter every weeknight. He's the only news anchor I've really ever known. He got me through wars and 9-11 and he and taught me about fantastic people every Friday. He was always calm and sensible. He was incredibly knowledgeable and always put things into perspective. And I would have been a complete mess this last election if he hadn't been there all night long with us. I cried when I found out he had lung cancer and I was shocked tonight when I heard from my e-mail alert that he'd died. I sat in front of the TV crying tonight while watching the coverage. He was the only one I ever trusted completely to give me news and it's going to take me a long time not to feel lost without him, or at least without hearing his name at 6:30 every night when World News Tonight comes on. It won't be the same but I can hope that his incredible standards and style will still be felt in the network and in journalism in general. I'll miss you Peter.
