Former CBS News Anchor Walter Cronkite passed at age 92. Cronkite was one of the last of the network news anchors that had real stature, and he came to represent an era in television journalism that is long since gone. He was, in my opinion, a fine journalist who dominated his era. I tended more to Huntley-Brinkley, but Walter Cronkite was a real giant. He will be missed.

A fair amount of my early childhood awareness of the world came from Uncle Walter. One of my more vivid memories of that time was when every night’s opening of the broadcast was how many soldiers died in Vietnam that day, as I wondered if my brother would be called up, like some of our neighbors and friends. Some of whom did not come back home.
I only wish he’d lived a few days longer, and was somehow able to mark his broadcast of Apollo 11 landing on the moon.
Godspeed, Walter Cronkite.
