Maybe it sounds silly, but this man was an important part of my early childhood.
My parents would watch NBC Nightly News every night at 7, with David Brinkley and John Chancellor. At the end of the hour, the co-anchors always signed off by saying, "Goodnight, for NBC News."
8pm was my bedtime, and while I would always fuss about it, it was non-negotiable. After all, my parents would reason with a shrug, the man on the television had said goodnight. It was out of their hands.
One of my earliest memories, then, was this man saying goodnight to me, five days a week.
Good night, Mr. Brinkley.
