Sailing Maryland: Remembering Walter Cronkite, Sailor

[James S]

Hello Walter...thats great...I miss him!

[Cheechako]

Walter was one of a kind. I had the priveledge to shake his hand in about '98. His boat was at the same small marina that mine was at in Annapolis. I caught him in the parking lot headed to the boat!

That's got to be a special memory. As a journalist myself, it would have been great to meet him. In this time of such uncivil discourse, it's hard not to feel nostalgic for the days of Cronkite.

I think the image I hold strongest was of Walter removing his glasses and announcing the time JFK passed. For a man who was the consumate reporter of events, IMHO, who never showed emotion, one could feel his pain as an American. May he never have to go to windward. Salut.

Funny story - thx!

I seem to recall something about two kinds of sailors (especially on the Chesapeake) - those who have run aground and those who are lying about it.

Yeah, that's especially true on the Chesapeake!

The end of Camelot - who could not be emotional at that moment.

No one else has reported any problems, AD, and I experienced none when I clicked on the link in sneuman's post. Are you sure you couldn't have gotten your computer infected some other way?

I no longer say I am doing a circumnavigation, I tell them I am executing the dream of any long distance sailor, To run aground in every major ocean of the world! So far I have not missed my goal!
