"The Most Trusted Man in America".

I remember when he covered the first lunar landing. He had followed the space program with great interest, and often thought of what he would say at that historic moment. He was so overcome with emotion upon seeing it, all he could say was to keep repeating "Oh Boy".

R.I.P. Mr. Cronkite.

The last "great newsman" has passed.

I've long felt that he was the epitome of what a news reporter should be and that no one has yet to reach his level. Walter Cronkite always reported the news. Today all we get are stories colored by "reporters" personal bias and the bias of the people they work for.

Walter Cronkite was also a avid sailor and was at one time a Commodore in the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary.

It's hard for me to think of the sixties and seventies without thinking of Walter Cronkite reporting the major events of the time.

The man had integrity, something that's pretty rare within the broadcast industry.

RIP Walter.

Being born in '83 I never had the chance to watch him deliver the news. But from old footage I will always associate him as the person who told American about the Kennedy assassination.

I grew up in the age of the greats in television news - Edward R. Morrow, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, and Walter Cronkite. The last of them are gone, and may never be replaced. Rest in peace, old warrior.

:tpd:

Some of my earliest memories are of watching the network news with my Dad (a social-studies teacher for 30+ years), and seeing the Huntely-Brinkley Report, Mr Morrow and the great Walter Cronkite. My dad would explain some of the finer points of the stories, such as the Korean and Vietnam wars. I also remember Mr. Cronkite's reporting of the JFK assasination and the Moon landing.

RIP

I remember watching him when I was a kid. What a great anchor man and news reporter.
