The
Last of
Cronkite
As I sat watching ana
listening closely to the
C.B.S. evening news last
March 6, I tried
reminiscing about the
many times I spent in
front of the television
hearing Walter Cronkite
relating our daily major
events of the world to
his viewers.
The farewell speech,
delivered by Cronkite in
the last minutes, was
moving for me as well
as millions of others
who in return bid the
anchorman adieu. A few
of his broadcasts leave
memories of special
moments in my heart
and two of them stand
out more than the
others.
In 1969, when our
astronaut Neal Arm
strong landed safely on
the moon, there were
tears of joy and blessing
received across our
nation within minutes in
a voice unlike the steady
Cronkite manner. Also,
the time when President
Johnson suddenly died
after months of failing
health, the message was
received by phone
during the evening
broadcast. Cronkite’s
tears were softened at
the loss of a former
president, and he
stated, “If he’d only
lived forty-eight hours
longer, his dream would
have come true with the
return of our P.O.W’s
and the final end of the
Vietnam War.’’
All of our recent
coverage announcing
Cronkite’s semi-reti
rement in magazines
and newspapers, has me
wondering if it’s the
voice I’ll miss or is age
creeping up on me.
Probably both, but I’d
just like to say. I’m glad
to have grown up in my
lifetime having Walter
delivering our nations’
news.

Gramley
A 27-minute student-
produced documentary,
“Dale Gramley: A Gift
of Self,” will be shown
on Channel 12 television
on Sunday, April 19, at 6
p.m.
The compilation of
what they call “the
Gramley years” was
the January term
project for 11 Salem
College students. They
did their research,
interviewing and
filming under the
supervision of David
Solomon, an in
dependent film maker.
Gramley, president of
Salem Academy and
College from 1949 to
1971, saw the number of
students and faculty
more than double and
the operating budget
quadruple during his
tenure. The Fine Arts
Building and two dor
mitories were con
structed during his
years as president Tlie
library, which now
bears his name, was
something in which he
took a special interest
Gramley’s comment,
on seeing the videotape
upon its completion,
was that the students
had done a very good
job and that “I’d like to
meet that guy
sometime.”
Carolyn McCollum,
one of the two student
production managers,
will talk about the
pl-oject on the “Pied
mont” show on Channel
12 Friday, April 17.
