My sympathies to Diane Sawyer, and to the rest of his family.

What a talented man. I didn't realize he was in his 80's. Somehow I assumed he was in his late 60's.

Diane Sawyer is 71. That shocked me!

Lesser known fact: he was a very influential Arabian horse breeder and aficionado for decades. Some of my "horse friends" know of him strictly through the Arabian horse world, which always made me smile.
