I read over the weekend that Walter Cronkite had passed away. He had become such an American icon over the years. I read that he was the most trusted and believed news caster of all time. I can honestly say I used to watch him every Sunday religiously on the CBS Sunday show. Hearing his voice and watching whatever he was presenting somehow connected me to America. I looked forward to his clips on different small towns in America. He presented a picture of small town America like no one I had ever seen. I could relate to the images and the comments people made.

So to Walter Cronkite's family I send my prayers. He was truly a great American.
