One of an increasingly rare breed of journalists who told the story without being overly sensational and dramatic.

I learned so much about the world as a kid from hearing his voice on the "In The News" segments they used to run between cartoons on Saturday mornings.

R.I.P. Mr. Cronkite.

Someone posted this on another forum and I thought it was a cool little piece Cronkite did on sports car racing, especially with the ALMS race at Lime Rock this weekend

He made a difference - we should all be so lucky. I remember watching him as a child. His impact spread over several generations.

Will any of the current crop of 'newspersons' be revered as such years from now? I have my doubts.

RIP, Walter.
