A lot of us became familiar with him then. He was such a huge booster of science and the space program.
RIP Walter.

| 12. Damn. That would have been a nice one for him to see and celebrate. |
|
Well, maybe where he is now, up beyond the moon, he can see everything much more clearly. He was indeed "the most trusted man in America." We basically have NO ONE now - of any stripe. (Well, except maybe Keith and Rachel - to a lesser extent.)

| 7. Seems as though it was supposed to be a tad wry, like We Hardly Knew Ye. n/t |

| 14. Cronkite was a great reporter, anchor, and a great American. |
|
I grew up watching Walter. One of my earliest TV memories was Nov. 22, 1963. I've never forgotten his reaction after having to report the death of President Kennedy.
I'll never forget his "WOW!" after Armstrong stepped on the Moon.
He was indeed trusted. And he earned it.
RIP

...that there's nobody on television news good enough to properly report Cronkite's death."
A tweet I just saw that rings truer than anything.
