60 Minutes has been part of our weekly routine since growing up in a house where Sunday dinner was always served a few minutes before 7:00 pm, so we could all take our trays into the living room in time to watch as we dined.  Bob Simon is the latest departure from an ever-evolving cast to which we've grown attached.  We're so sorry to see him go without a proper goodbye, but we are slightly cheered that we can see one more new story of his, on efforts to create an Ebola-fighting drug, tonight on 60 Minutes.
