GWEN IFFIL

This outstanding, yet familiar PBS anchor has left us.  In these too dark frustrating times, she reminds us of all what still can be professional, unselfish and positive in American media.

Viewers were looking forward to seeing her because she never attempted to invade one's space. Even while questioning a presidential contender she was able to come up with topics which were pertinent without ever being double-barreled.  Her private "persona" never took over either, not because there was too little to convey, but because there might have been too much!
