Then when I came to log on, on the Home page I saw an article about a boy who was briefly shown on tonight's show, in Bosnia, talking with Jennings. I tried to print it so I could make some quotes, but I'm going to have to rely on my memory.
The boy's original name is Eki, but he has taken a more Americanized name. A couple who had seen the original show from Bosnia decided to bring him to America. They paid all expenses, brought him and his family to America. He's a young man now, working and planning to go to college. All this from a news program by Peter Jennings in Bosnia.
I wonder how many other people were moved by what Peter Jennings thought was important. I wonder how many other lives were changed by Peter Jennings' honest reporting. He was on the scene all over the world. He was highly regarded by other reporters. I wonder how many lives he influenced.
My deepest condolences to his wife and children. A great man has passed this life. And left very deep footprints.
Shalom
