AND THATS THE WAY IT IS


1916-2009

Walter Cronkite died today at age 92. This makes me very sad. He was one of the voices that defined my childhood. I remember his voice describing many of the most important events of the 20th century. Many of these milestones I remember like they were yesterday, like Apollo 11 landing on the Moon and the astronauts walking on the surface for the first time and others that I'm too young to remember like the assassination of President Kennedy. He was a constant presence and his excitement and sorrow that was sometimes expressed on the air made him a very trusted and very human voice of our generation. I will miss him.
