Just so wonderful to read about one of my heros.....and so sad to see our "news guiders" have such lack of character ( do people even use the term character anymore? ).
I remember when Rodger Mudd was supposed to replace him and it went to Dan Rather. I thought that they gave it to " the pretty boy" but he too looks golden in hind sight. Isn't it so crazy that Rodger Mudd was related to the Mudds of John Wilkes Booth barn hiding.....I have that right....right?
Thanks, Grace. Yes, Roger Mudd was a distant relative of the controversial Doc Mudd who treated Booth but may or may not have been in on the plot. In his final sign-off Cronkite said: "I'll be away on assignment and Dan Rather will be sitting in here for the next few years. Good night."

Those were the days when the news was actually vetted before presented to the masses. I miss those days!
Touching and informative as well. Thanks, Jack.
