Walter Cronkite dies at 92
Friday, July 17th, 2009
Walter Cronkite, one of the most trusted newsmen in history, has died at 92.
In this video Cronkite reflects on what it was like to be on the air while watching the first man reach the moon.
I grew up with him although my parents knew him better than I did. The CBS news team he was on was the best in the business and aside from a few today, standards have never been the same since.
Update: CBS News has a very nice remembrance: CBS Legend Walter Cronkite Dies. Watch the video, it’s the best overview I’ve seen yet. This Sunday at 7 pm CBS is running a special report on Cronkite that should be fascinating.
