Dear Hayden / RSS
Several weeks ago while passing through Roanoke on a drive to Pennsylvania from Texas, my wife and I picked up a copy of The Roanoke Star-Sentinel at the Roanoke Hampton Inn. After reading your Perspective column “Walter Cronkite…Please Come Back” I had to drop you this email (the first time I have ever done this by the way).
My wife and I lived in San Antonio, Texas for the past two years, and have decided to return to our birth state of Pennsylvania for our retirement years. While in Texas, my son and daughter-in-law took me to the LBJ library at the University of Texas to see the Walter Cronkite display for my 61st birthday. They knew that I idolized Walter. My family has heard me constantly complain about today’s TV “journalists” and their search for fame and stardom.
How refreshing it is to read that someone out their agrees with me and described it so articulately. Thank you. I have carried the Perspective page clear up to Pennsylvania with the intent on writing to you when things settled down. If you haven’t already seen it, the Cronkite exhibit is worth a look.
“And that’s the way it is!”
– Thanks again, Bob in PA.
