It’s been said over by a few people, but outside of Ted Turner, no one has had a bigger impact, or been more important to, or meant more to CNN, and I don’t think anyone loved it more either. On top of all of those things about being our Captain, and our guide and our North Star, Jeff, as so, so many of you know, was also our friend.
