I remember one Presidential Inauguration I was watching on ABC. Peter and his co-host made a pact that neither would use the term makes his way to .The motorcade had nor even left the White House before Peter slipped up and used the hackneyed phrase, much to the amusement of his co-host - and many viewers no doubt.

In my experience, hypocrisy usually starts at graveside along with pathologically polite amnesia.

She has breast cancer...found during a routine check-up.

Friday was her last chemo treatment. She has stayed on the air, except for the day of or after a treatment...and she seems to be well on the way to health..but,

unfortunately OR fortunately, if you will, she was engaged to be married at the time and I guess her fiancee didn't want to deal with it, and right after she told her audience that she had cancer, she also announced that the marriage was off....

But, she has kept her sense of humor...

I guess, though, that Jennings cancer is way past where her's was...

Chet Huntley died from lung cancer too.

It's a horrible way to go.

Also, sounds macabre, but obit tape in sitting on EIC's desk in NYC.

Prayers for you and your family.

I hope that our FR family is making you feel a little less sad.

Occasionally the "softer side" of FR makes me want to puke.

Most Freepers do not take delight in human suffering.

I'd assumed they'd just postponed the wedding until after her treatment was done...from what you say, it sounds like she and her fiance totally called it quits?
