Peter Jenning
After researching long and hard i decided to do my research on Peter Jenning.
Peter was born July 29th, 1938 he was born in Toronto, Canada. He died in Manhattan, New York city. Jennings was a Canadian American journalist who served as the sole anchor of ABC World News Tonight from 1983 until his death in 2005. In 1983, Reynolds (the anchor before peter) fell ill with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that often attacks the bones, and was forced to stop anchoring in April. ABC originally expected a full recovery, and relocated Jennings to its Washington bureau to fill in for Reynolds while he was sick.

Jennings was married 4 times. First was to kati marton which was an author they divorced in 1993 they had 2 kids christopher and elizabeth jenning. His second marriage was from 1997 to 2005 when he died they had no kids together he got married to Kayne freed she is a television producer she never got remarried after he died. His ex wife got re married to Richard Holbrooke then they divorced in 2010. Peter jennings was known to be a really heavy smoker. From being a really heavy smoker jennings got lung cancer. On August 7, 2005, just after 11:30 p.m. Charles Gibson broke into local news in the eastern U.S. and regular programming on ABC's western affiliates to announce Jennings's death from lung cancer. Jennings had died in his New York apartment with his fourth wife, two children by his marriage to Kati Marton, and sister at his side. Jennings was cremated and his ashes split in half. Half of his ashes remained in his home in Long Island and the other half was placed in his summer home in the Gatineau Hills, near Ottawa. In 2007 a book, "Peter Jennings: A Reporter’s Life", was published, co-edited by his widow Kayce Freed and his ABC colleague Lynn Sherr. I learned that its okay to ask questions and that it's pretty much okay to say no
