I have been watching PBSNewshour for years now and never really paid too much attention to her..I really like Judy Woodruff and her professional presentations, I thought CNN messed up by letting her go because of age..Then one day they announced Judy's sidekick died..It was a real unexpected blow..Out of nowhere...Just like that..I was watching them one day, Gwen was out a few days and then the announcement that one of the team is gone...I took it for granted that I'm tuning in for news and now Gwen is gone...Who ever thought I would care..But I do...

Gwen was amazing and so talented. So is Judy. So many untimely deaths this year. I lost 2 friends in their 50s. WTF?!?
