I have two very vivid memories of Walter Cronkite from my childhood. The first is his announcement that JFK was dead. The second was his voiceover narration of the CBS documentary The Twentieth Century, which was a Sunday evening staple in our house. I can still hear that authoritative, you-can-take-this-to-the-bank voice of his giving you the facts about World War II, or life behind the Iron Curtain, or whatever the topic of that week’s broadcast was.

I’d like to hear from some of you about your own memories of Walter. Please leave a comment and fill me in.
