You'd think some of the Jackasses we have on the air now would have learned something from Cronkite and tried in some way to emulate a similar style of believability and trust. The gene pool is really going down the sewer.

And I couldn't agree more.

He reported the increasing downward slide of the Vietnam war...and Nixon reportly said: "if we have lost Cronkite, we have lost the war"

Years ago when I had a blow boat Walter had a place on the Piankatank River very close to me. We often single handed our boats and found that we were going in the same direction. Of course the definition of a sail boat race is two of similar size going in the same direct.
I told my Bride this yesterday and she said, "You didn't beat him, did you?"
Walter Cronkite, are you kidding? But it was fun.
I raise a glass to his memory.
