Jennings honoured with Order of Canada

As you all seem to be so interested in this great man, I'm sure you'll
all be pleased to hear that it was announced today that Peter
Jennings was awarded Canada's greatest honour. Article at:

http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/08/11/Jennings-Order-050811.html

Apparently the decision was made a few weeks ago, and Jennings had
accepted before his death.

Great news! A Canadian we can all be proud of!
