Fare Thee Well, Meredith Vieira

It is long since past due: Meredith Vieira has served her last day on the Today Show. This fifty-seven year-old product of New England, graduate of the Lincoln School and Tufts, has served her country and her cause well. As I do some research on her background, I am reminded of the cool of West 57th Street and certainly her work on The View. I am not really a viewer of the Today Show these days (I prefer Morning Joe). However, it is hard to argue with class. And this is something that MV has in abundance and it seems to come naturally from within.

Playful, with Matt Lauer, her first day on the Today Show.

Who says that the gentle passage of time
can't be thoroughly charming?

Fare thee well.
