Dubbed "the most trusted man in America," the legendary CBS Evening News anchor died July 17 at
the age of 92. Walter Cronkite, who had cerebrovascular disease, anchored the Evening News for 19
years, steering America through many of its turbulent times - including the assassination of President
Kennedy - and signed off each night with his famous catchphrase: "And that's the way it is."
Walter walked us through the assassination of JFK, and MLK, and the landing on the moon. He talked
in plain English where all could understand and was never misleading at all. The world has lost a great
Man and Journalist. We also lost a man who witnessed and was part of so much history. So sad that
his shoes will be very hard to fill.
