Newsman Walter Cronkite passed away yesterday.  A newsman among newsmen, Cronkite paved many new roads for the business.  The news industry is an interesting one to say the least.  Many enter into it through its various facets, but few gain the infamous status that Cronkite did.  A college dropout, Cronkite began working in newspaper, moved to radio, and finally to television when he was recruited to CBS by my favorite newsman, Edward R. Murrow.  He covered presidential elections, wars (most notably, the Vietnam War), NASA missions, Kennedy’s assassination and many, many other important events all over the world.  But, his career didn’t end at the news desk, Cronkite made cameo appearances in movies, TV (including the PBS children’s show, Liberty’s Kids where he voiced founding father, Benjamin Franklin) and did voice overs for documentaries.  His work was memorable and admirable to say the least, and will undoubtedly go down in the history books for future generations.  Thank you for your work, your opinions, and your honesty.  You will never been forgotten.
