[Lee Heggy]

Back in the Nixon era I worked as a page/intern for both NBC and ABC. I remember Mr. Brinkley as a man of charm and wit. He could be taciturn at times but he was never sour or mean-spirited. Being in the same room with him and Eric Severide, Walter Cronkite and John Chancellor as well as several other 'old guard' commentators as they talked shop and shared stories was a very educational experience. Sad that he is gone but what a life he lived!

Good night 'Wrinkley', I'll have a scotch for you tonight.
