That's both of them now, right?  McNeil was older, I think. And stepped away far sooner.

Robert McNeil is still alive. He's 89

He retired so much sooner. I thought for sure he was a decade older.

Thanks.

I've read two of Lehrer's novels, and The Story of English, which Robert McNeil co-authored.  Good stuff.

Pretty sure it's actually Robin and not Robert.

Called Robin, his name is Robert. So... Canadian. :)

I’ve seen news about the crash but nothing to confirm he was onboard. Hopefully that’s wrong.

Whether he was on board or not, five people are dead.

I don’t like basketball and really didn’t care one way or another about Kobe and yet I still feel stunned and like I’ve been punched in the stomach, the pics with his daughter just kill me :(
