Mourning Morley Safer
It's been a sad few days for everyone at 60 Minutes, but we've taken comfort in reading remembrances of Morley on social media.
Some of these posts are from fellow journalists, others are from people Morley interviewed in years past. Take a look below for those, and other memories of Morley that caught our eye:

Morley Safer was a good friend. I'm sad to say goodbye to such a wonderful journalist and all-around terrific guy. Rest in peace, Morley.
