On Monday, we marked the passing of our beloved colleague and friend Joe Schlesinger, at the age of 90. Over an illustrious career, Joe played several roles at CBC both behind the scenes and in front of the camera. That ceremony was hosted by Peter Mansbridge, former anchor of The National and chief correspondent for CBC News, who today remembered Joe Schlesinger. "In the last couple of months, Canada has lost two of our best-known foreign correspondents, Michael Maclear and Joe Schlesinger," Mansbridge said. And there are very few journalists who can compete with Joe Schlesinger as great storytellers.
