The passing of so many well known individuals lately has been a bit scary and strange. With our site being about marketing it would be remiss to let the passing of Walter Cronkite go silently. Although he was the voice of journalism, marketing can be built on the integrity and draw of persons like him. Steve and I watched CBS Sunday Morning as they paid tribute to this great man. I realize for most of his career I was too young to even know who he was. But as I grew it became just a part of our lives that nightly Mr. Cronkite was a visitor in our home. Steve mentioned that his father when asked about when they would play a board game or complete a nightly task his response was always the same: “After Cronkite”! The monumental events he covered and conveyed to the United States is astounding. Watching the tribute, summarizing all he reported with grace and integrity brought back the flood of “fatherly” feelings I’ve had for him. Always there, always a rock once in a while showing signs of true human emotion. Radio Business Report Photo from RBR article. |
posted a quick article yesterday on his accomplishments with many quotes. I feel so fortunate that I was able to gain the advantage of having this man as a reporter in my lifetime!
