Remembering Peter: “A Classic Journalist”

“The memorial service drew more than 2,000 people, several hundred of whom were ordinary viewers,” USAT’s Peter Johnson says.

“I don’t think you’ll see a bigger crowd of broadcast news people — ever,” Bill O’Reilly told Johnson. Larry King weighed in, too: “He was erudite, tough — a classic journalist. When he talked about something, you knew he knew the territory.”
