Edwin Newman, dead at 91 this past August.
Sonny Eliot, retired as of this September.
Two more examples of the Old Guard passing.
Mr. Newman was a journalist of note for many decades and was an important part of the news, appreciated by millions of American TV viewers.
Mr. Eliot, Sonny, a Detroit – area TV weatherman who was infinitely more than just a weatherman, has decided to retire.
Edwin Newman was the more remote of the two, in the manner of a Brinkley, Huntley, or Cronkite.
Sonny was more on the order of a member of the family, welcomed daily or nightly into one’s home with wit, humor, and folksy wisdom.
Two more folks have moved on.
We wish them well.
