Chet Huntley:
And so, this difficult moment is here. In leaving this post after almost 14 years, I recommend to you The NBC Nightly News, which begins tomorrow. It will be in the most capable hands of David, John Chancellor and Frank McGee. I'll be watching, with interest and affection. I might also remind you that American journalism, all of it, is the best anywhere in the world. I want to thank the entire staff of NBC, for this nightly broadcast has not been an individual effort by any means. And as for you out there, I thank you first for your patience, then for your many kindnesses and the flattering things you have said and written. More difficult to take, to be sure, has been your criticism, but that, too, has been helpful, and, in most cases, valid. But you have bolsted my conviction that this land contains incredible quality and quantity of good, common sense, and it's in no danger of being led down a primrose path by a journalist. At the risk of sounding presumptuous, I would say to all of you: be patient and have courage, for there will be better and happier news one day, if we work at it. And David, thanks for these years of happy association, and for being such an easy colleague to work with, and for all the kindnesses. David Brinkley: Chet, I, too, would like to thank all of those who tuned us in and put up with us, particularly including those who write the nasty letters! McGee and Chancellor and I will be here every night, and we will miss you. Last night, NBC had a dinner for Chet and gave all of us a chance to say goodbye to him, and as a farewell gift, NBC gave him a horse. So Chet, when you ride away to the West to Montana on your new horse, I will have to admit to at least a mild envy, and when you're out there under clear skies and clean air, maybe once in a while you will think of those of us still here, fighting the traffic, the transportation breakdowns, stress, pollution, and wondering what is left that we can eat, drink, smoke or breathe that will not kill us, and wondering what horror will be visited upon us next. In these years I have often been stopped in public by a cop who was polite who knew I was either Huntley or Brinkley, but weren't sure which and so they have asked, so from now on, when somebody stops me in the street and says, "Aren't you Chet Huntley?", I have an answer: it is "No, ma'am, he is the one out West on a horse!" I really don't want to say it, but the time has come, and so, for the last time, good luck...and good night, Chet. Chet Huntley: Good luck, David, and good night, for NBC News.

The kids are 12/13 y.o. but the man says they cant be left alone untill they are 14. Hence the baby sitting bit. Otherwise, I'm in incredible condition, considering the cvondition I'm in

I think my condition went south. It don't seen to stay in touch anymore.

Howdy Carole, Hope your staying warm. I keep getting visitors, who wander in & out like the tide

Well I'm guilty of that, toooo many things going on right now.. My new date has been keeping me busy plus going to outpatient therapy...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Trying to stay warm but it has been really cold here.. It did warm up some today but I think its coming back...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Admitting things like that Carole, can lead to a starring role in a developing saga along the lines of Dallas

Glad you and the new date are getting on so well.
