I will miss Brian Williams. He is incisive and steady, comfortable , avuncular and capable of sharp humor or steely eyed seriousness. To me, he is like visiting with your favorite friend or closest relative.
I'm must admit I am flummoxed to imagine who can replace Brain Williams. But appreciating him as I do, I cannot selfishly desire for him to continue when he is ready to move on.
He says we will see him again , and I think this a sort of last act for his full time career.
So I say to you Brain, have a great and happy retirement, unless you have other plans....God Bless You- we are all friends you never met...
