Good Night... Mr. Cronkite!


Long-time news anchorman Walter Cronkite passed away July 17, 2009, at age 92. He was an icon as an anchorman as I was growing up in the Midwest and watching the CBS Evening News on Channel 2 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. WMT-TV was Channel 2 at the time and the station to watch.

He was the gold standard, a giant as an anchorman. Someone I looked forward to reflect on the day's events in the comfort of our family room.
