Some of my earliest memories are of watching the network news with my Dad (a social-studies teacher for 30+ years), and seeing the Huntely-Brinkley Report, Mr Morrow and the great Walter Cronkite. My dad would explain some of the finer points of the stories, such as the Korean and Vietnam wars. I also remember Mr. Cronkite's reporting of the JFK assasination and the Moon landing.

RIP
