A genuine gentleman has moved on. I remember he, and many other noteables, going to North Vietnam to participate in the Prisoner of War releases. He walked alongside one of prisoners as they boarded the airplane to leave the Hanoi Hilton behind. Might have even been Mr. John McCain??

Today is July 17, 2009. "What sort of day was it? A day like all days, filled with those events that alter and illuminate our times... and you were there." This was the ending comment on his CBS program, "You Are There". A genuine gentleman.
