That was 41 years as a national anchor – the longest tenure of any national news anchor in North America.A few years ago, when Lloyd was 89, he agreed to appear on Toronto Mike'd remotely. I remember sitting on the zoom waiting for Lloyd and just hoping I wouldn't screw it up. Lloyd was so cordial and kind, I relaxed right away and realized I could ask him anything. I could ask him about SCTV's Floyd Robertson and The Simpsons' Kent Brockman and his successor at CTV National News Lisa Laflamme. We ended up talking for 90 minutes.I never met Lloyd in person, but I've talked to dozens of people who did and they all experienced the same gentle kindness.
