That is the impression I got---the only time I heard her reference it was the morning she first talked about the cancer...and when she mentioned "the wedding was off", I definitely heard regret in her voice...

I haven't heard anything else about him since...I did hear her saying last week that she is going to Alaska sometime this month...on the same days that McCain, Graham, Collins, and Clinton are going to be there.

A coincidence that she was NOT happy about, BTW.

So, going by what I haven't heard about her fiancee, I would say he is gone for good...

Most Freepers do not take delight in human suffering.

You can add me to that list. My sense of compassion for PJ and the quislings he served are not as strong as others perhaps. But, you feel qualified to judge my reactions to this development?

The herd mentality is alive and well on FR is it not?

I did not make ANY statement on your feelings. I was responding to your statement on OTHER Freepers feelings.

I wouldn't know. I'm too busy doing "my own thing". :)

Thanks for the info.

Sounds like she is well rid of the fiance if he did not stand by her.

You seemed to imply my lack of any apparent sensitivity training regarding the well being, or lack thereof, of an enemy combatant left something to be desired. Whatever.

Lord save us from sensitivity training. I'll take old fashioned compassion for suffering anytime over liberal "sensitivity training". Your post #303 sounded like you agree.

I seem to recall her saying in a joking fashion, that that her fiance had left her as well, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
It was in the context of "who your true friends are when the chips are down" so to speak.

Have you been able to find out anything else? I understand these things are handled delicately but Fox mentioned something this morning and hasn't followed up with anything at their site. Is the lack of any story anywhere just a weekend thing or is everybody just holding back until he passes? By your info (thanks, btw) it sounds very close.

I have watched several people die from lung cancer, it is not a pleasant sight. I hope he goes on soon. God Bless him and his family.

Several others noted earlier that Fox mentioned Jennings was "gravely ill" but they have had nothing on their web site yet. MindBender26 apparently knows people at ABC who are saying the end is near.

Expect nothing more until ammouncement.

Till passes

BTW, watch for any change in Richard Holborook's schedule. His wife is Kati Marton Holbrook, 3d wife of Jennings and mother of his only children.

Some friends of mine sang on the ABC Millenium New Years Eve countdown show put together by Peter Jennings. Here is a picture of them after they'd handed him their "Just Sing It" t-shirt. He insisted on putting it on right away for this picture.

The story of their trip to NYC and performance effort at the request of Peter Jennings can be found:

1) Acoustix in New York City
2) More New York City - The Pre-Game
3) Still more New York City

Picture after the performance:

Both CBS and ABC types say end is close.

35 year CBS friend called me Schul services on Saturday. (He is Jewish.) He said it was very expected.

Spoke with a number of ABCers this AM. Same.

Everyone is simply waiting, praying and hoping for lack of pain, etc.
