Goodbye Walter

With the passing of Walter Cronkite, we witness the passing of an era when TV newsmen had our trust and confidence. Mr. Cronkite was someone we could listen to and trust. As a young boy, I eagerly waited for the evening news to hear Walter Cronkite. His clear, honest, and concise reporting gave me a sense of well being, because no matter how dire the news; I always knew that it had been presented in an honest and forthright manner.

Sadly, today's newsmen and women do not inspire such trust, nor do I have the level of confidence in them that I had in Walter Cronkite.

Job well done, Walter. Rest in PEACE.
