Silly Little Country

Peter Jennings

I was quite saddened to learn of his death.

As one who grew up in the Ottawa Valley, my first memory of him was of the host of the local teenage dance show (a la Dick Clark but in a really small-town environment). That he became the journalist he did is a great credit to his basic skills. Could someone today follow such a career path with so little in the way of credentials, and have the world just accept the talent?
