I will miss Mark Shields commentary but look forward to his occasion appearances. It is like a breath of fresh air to hear Mark's take on current events, especially during the last few years when democracy took a nosedive. I also found his exchanges with David Brooks a model for civil discourse... he is a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Boston..watched you every Friday for years.

Dear Mr. Shields, I just read David Brooks's column on your retirement following the Newshour broadcast this coming Friday, and I need to write to wish you, from deep in my heart, the very best. I have watched the News Hour since 1982, when it was the MacNeil Lehrer Report. I have watched you since GERGEN and Shields. I also was the one who ran into you in a hotel in San Diego some years back while you were trying to order some eggs from the breakfast buffet and thanked you for all you do -- sorry to disrupt you! I am going to miss you.

Mark Shields has brought us words of political and historic wisdom each week for years and years. His analysis has been well researched and based in historic and accurate facts. He presents information with intelligence and ethical consideration bringing meaning to the week's news. He will be missed but we wish him the very best that life has to offer in his retirement. We've learned so much and are so grateful for the years that he has dedicated himself to the public. You've earned this, Mark - now enjoy it! Gila and Ron Pacanowski

Hello,

Please pass along my thanks to Mark Shields for his years of excellent work, including his commentary on the Friday evening PBS NewsHour.

His decency, humor and insight have been an inspiration, and I will miss him!

Mark Shields has been my lens for understanding a principled view of American politics. Please extend my gratitude for his years of service. His commentary has been intelligent, insightful and convivial. I will miss him an awful lot.

What a sad day for those of us who have listened to his wit and wisdom for all these years. Somehow it seems to be more than thirty-three years. Every Friday evening watching the Newshour for the exchange of sharp political insight and witty remarks between Mark and David Gergen, Paul Gigot, and now the equally incomparable David Brooks, has been a weekly must. For anyone who prides himself on being politically attuned, there has been no better set of commentators.
