    Yep. Tom Brokaw retired in December 2004, Rather was ousted in March, 2005, and Peter Jennings became sick in early April and was diagnosed with cancer. sad that the era of these three giants came to an end all at once.

    That was the first day of my 24th year on earth. I was living in Marietta, GEorgia right down the road from the Big Chicken on Roswell Road. I had been in town, a transplant from Carol City, for three months at the time. I did have many friends yet and I mostly saw t my evenings, alone, at home, watching CBS. I remember the feeling of loss. The feeling of an era ending. My father who I called later that evening, recalled the time that Cronkite called it a career with a similar emotion. It's been 15 years now. Ly life has changed and reassembled during that time in ways I had never imagined. I like to think as I reflect on the retirement of Mr. Rather that in a way he helped prepare me for the tumultuous road ahead. He fortified me and perhaps all of us with a quite dignity and mental strength that surely say us all thru. Thank you for the confidence instilled through your wisdom and steadfastness Mr. Rather. Your affirmations help me for one make it thru. #ALessonInCOURAGE. #Gratitude.

    Dan Rather was the news. He was a the best reporter ever. He was a good, honest man. Norah O’Donnell will never hold a candle next to Dan. CBS made career suicide the day they let Dan go.

      Yes, that's why he presented fake documents as real and got caught at it. He was a big phony like Bill Cosby.

    It makes me upset when people say negative things about Dan Rather. He was a phenomenal journalist who gave us the truth and facts and not something from Facebook. Most people get their news from social media and a lot of it isn't true. Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, and Peter Jennings were the best journalists to give us the news.

    During the OJ standoff after the car chase, Dan and Connie Chung were watching the video of OJ's driveway with the truck parked in it. Dan was saying that it looked like a cop was sneaking up from the back. Connie corrected him and said, "Dan I think that's the spare tire." After that, any time Dan Rather would flub his lines, my dad would yell at the TV, "Come on Dan, it's a spare tire!" Good memories.
