First and foremost, I am profoundly grateful for your trust.

The first presidential resignation in the nations history.

In 1975, New York City plunged into effective bankruptcy and the Vietnam war came to a chaotic end.

The pace of breaking news has been relentless ever since.

We get knocked down, and we come back stronger.

I work here, and this is important.

What I do is important.

Feel the weight of that history.

Its an honor to work with you.

That message was aimed at our work here, the grinding challenges of daily news gathering.

Thank you, and good night.

From one Chuck to another: Best wishes on your next chapter, Chuck.
