I walked past Anderson last Oct. at the Paris airport while he was doing a piece for 60 Minutes or CNN, I don't know which; but I sai "Good morning, Anderson." and he responded with, "Well, hello." I felt so honored because I truly feel that he is a very compassionate, caring and truthful man. All my best on his future endeavors. I really admire his devotion to his boys and his understanding of their treasured place in his heart. Bravo
