    Best wishes! I remember meeting you and your family at UVA when my son graduated in’92. You gave a great talk. Since then, I have been your faithful viewer. I am going to try to be disloyal to Brian Williams and switch over to you. Lots of good luck!

    What a letdown after Bob Schieffer!! It should be called “News Light”!! A bare mention of the change at Ford, and no word about 10000 laid off at Intel But 2 minutes about childrens’ portraits. Wow!! What geat news!!
    We might as well watch “ET” and see more pictures of Tom’s baby.—
