The way it was: Walter Cronkite’s memorial

Yesterday friends and family gathered in New York City to say farewell to one of the nation’s most beloved figures: Walter Cronkite. The TV anchor and star journalist was memorialized by an all-star cast of friends including Jimmy Buffett, who sang a song for his sailing buddy; former President Bill Clinton, who remembered a friendly gesture during a difficult time; and President Barack Obama, who stopped by before addressing a joint session of Congress. The Takeaway’s guest host Lynn Sherr remembers her old friend and neighbor.
