Ed Bradley was a fixture in my home on Sunday nights for nearly half my lifetime. He was my favorite of the 60 Minutes reporters and no matter what else I was doing while 60 Minutes played on my TV in the background, I would stop and watch his stories. Like his journalist colleagues and the rest of the viewing public, I was in awe of his intelligence, easy manner, and grace. In this time of often dirty and questionable journalism, he will be greatly missed, but leaves behind a legacy of integrity and unquestionable professionalism.
