I really came to appreciate Peter Jennings during 9/11. As awful as that day was, as well as the days that immediately followed, Jennings kept his head and his calm, and I was better able to keep mine - sort of.
I recall New Years Eve of 2001, right after mid-night, he appeared on air in a tux. Because it was Jennings, it didn't seem corny at all.
I will miss him.
