Dang, his voice alone brings really fond memories from my childhood and NASA.

One of the true leaders in journalism, and a true voice of the people. He did not play politics, nor "sugar coat" anything.. but told it LIKE IT WAS...

God Bless you Mr. Cronkite.

Had been hearing he was in bad shape for a while ... an icon in news to say the least.

I think the one thing I will NEVER forget about him is when he had to announce Kennedy was dead ... I was young but I remember it like it was yesterday. I'd never seen a newsman almost lose it ... definitely part of my childhood.

And I just heard him say in an interview that he was never ashamed of that.

And BTW...you guys remember ABC's Frank Reynolds? He also was a journalist that I respected .
