A note on Walter Cronkite's passing

One of my earliest memories as a human was the Soupy Sales kid show I was watching interrupted with breaking news, Kennedy had been shot. I saw, as a 5 year old, the clip of Walter announcing Kennedy's death. Its the same one we have all been seeing now for a few days. It did not really register with me, but I saw it... live.

Walter Cronkite holds a special place in my heart and, I am sure, in millions of American's hearts. He walked us thru the Vietnam War and the protests. He was there when man landed on the moon.  He was, without a doubt, the newsman of his time. I am reminded that he also hosted a program called 'You Are There'. Kind of funny that I now involve myself with placing listeners, thru visualizing of the recordings, 'there'. Not at the Alamo or the signing of the constitution, but at a seaside resort or on a Jet heading to who knows where while you get some sleep.

At 92 he lived a good long noble life... and that's the way it was.

Talk at 'cha later!
