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.
