Walter Cronkite set the standard for his profession perhaps more so for mankind.
Many of us grew up sharing our homes with him as he delivered the news. With keen insight, compelling compassion and upon occasion emotionally. He was, in some ways, our rock.
Through the many recollections of presidents, colleagues and friends two things struck me. All agreed, unequivocally, that Mr. Cronkite was a man of integrity. Indeed integrity was a guiding principle.
Secondly, was his opposition to the Vietnam conflict. That a man of his stature in those trying times would have the courage of his convictions is remarkable.
A remarkable man indeed..........not soon to be forgotten.
