Okay, his birthday was yesterday. I forgot. So happy belated birthday, Walter Cronkite.
The day Cronkite retired, in 1981, my father took pictures of the TV screen.
I’m only 39, but I’m having a “you young’uns don’t know what it was like” moment. The man was a giant.
I still miss seeing him deliver the news.
I was a bit young to watch him, and I didn’t really start watching news until I was an adolescent. But I do remember him covering the Apollo missions. And I remember, ‘And that’s the way is; Monday, November 6th, 1972.’
