Somehow I am not surprised that Eros died on Christmas Day. As a journalist, he knew there was a shortage of news this time of year, and so thoughtfully provided some himself. This is sad news for me; I worked alongside him for several years in the CBC Vancouver TV newsroom., he as lineup editor and me as writer. We got along well. He never seemed to have the requisite amount of cynicism for a journalist and I think that made him more open and thoughtful about many things. He taught many of us how to put together a newscast and cared deeply about accuracy, getting things straight. He did have a temper but we hardly ever saw it. My sympathies to all of you who cared about Eros. He was a good person.
