Walter Cronkite

His final broadcast as anchor for the CBS Evening News happened to fall on my birthday. I went out to dinner with my family, of course, but I brought along a portable radio and earphones so I could listen to his farewell. (The local CBS affiliate was Channel 6, and the audio could be heard at the lower end of the FM dial.)

That's what I'll always remember when I think of Walter Cronkite.
