Cronkite dead – fittingly on Apollo 11 anniversary

Walter Cronkite, dead at 92. If you’re my age or even older, who can forget him with Apollo 11, or other Apollo launches?

Or given that his 1968 visit to Vietnam, and subsequent commentary, was a factor in LBJ not running for re-election, how fitting that he outlived Robert McNamara by a week?

And… that’s the way Uncle Walter was.
