Another Icon Passes.......

Walter Cronkite, the most trusted man in America dies. So, who do we trust now? He came into our living rooms every evening on CBS and reported the news. On many occasions, he reported world events. NASA Space Missions, the 1st landing on the moon, JFK's death and funeral. The Beatles' first trip to America! The things this man not only reported on, but had seen in his lifetime! Amazing!

I remember when he retired from the news anchor desk. The news was never the same after that. Now he's gone and nothing will ever be the same. "And that's they way it is......."

as he appeared in 2004








There seems to have been so many celebrity deaths lately. Is it just that time in our lives when these people have reached their ends all at one time? Coincidence? More than likely. But it makes me wonder about when your number is up. I don't know. No one knows. It just makes me want to "Live Like I was Dyin'" Thanks, Tim McGraw.
