Well said John!  Peter is indeed sadly missed.

	I will go out on a limb here... and really not all that far...  and 
	say that Gzowski is (was) the best interviewer I have ever heard bar 
	none in my radio listening experience.  He really listened to what 
	his subjects were saying and always turned the encounter into a 
	conversation, rather than just an interview.  He was uniquely able to 
	both go where the subject wanted to take him as well as elicit the 
	things he wanted to know simultaneously.  Of course, part of the 
	credit for that has to go to the format of his program which gave 
	ample time for a conversation to develop.  No three minute sound 
	bites there.
	
	I used to record Morningside at home when it was carried by CBC North 
	shortwave service.  When that ended, I rigged an antenna system so I 
	could hear CBL 740 Toronto during the day well enough to record.  (I 
	live about 340 air miles from Toronto... for some reason 940 Montreal 
	some 200 miles away never made it here all that well except at night.)
	
	To say I was a fan would be an understatement.  To say that Peter is 
	missed would be a gross understatement.
