Walter Leland Cronkite, Jr. (November 4, 1916 – July 17, 2009)

Like a lot of people, I'm saddened by the passing of Walter Cronkite. Some of my earliest memories of watching the news with my family are narrated by the sound of his voice.
Here's a great photo of Cronkite (wearing 10-eyelet RedWing boots, no less) taking a swing onNASA's Reduced Gravity Simulator in 1968. Awesome.
