Amazing man Mr. Cronkite. You are definitely going to be remembered in history as probably the best or at least one of the best news anchors of all time. God Bless You and may you Rest in Peace
As one who grew up in a family who watched Huntley-Brinkley, I hardly saw "Uncle Walter" until college...even then, not all that much.
Nevertheless Walter's sincere reporting made me see right off, why people could trust him so much.
Upon seeing replays of the JFK bulletin and the Apollo 11 coverage, his respective reactions spoke volumes, because they reflected most people's respective reactions to those events.
It was an excellent, brilliant, and unforgettable decision to end each broadcast that way. I still LOVE to hear him say that! I too never missed the CBS Evening News during his prime.
