I just saw a little tribute to WC on the news. One of the pics was of WC holding a model of the Apollo CSM - During the height of the space program WALTER was the word. There was no computer animation or doppler of any of that fancy crap. Walter picked up a model of a spaceship he had on his desk, and explained what was going on.

I remember him being the voice of NEWS-No BS, no google, twitter or internet. You had to tune in and listen to the "most trusted man in America".

His word was good enough. If WC called it you had to listen-It was just like your parents talking to you.

The picture made me laugh because as a kid I always hated him because he got to play with all the cool space toys!

Thanks for being there, Walter.
