I was at the Advanced Placement national conference, held this year in San Antonio, Texas (I thought of Mark in Laredo, but I didn't rent a car to drive over. . .). Anyway, one of our plenary speakers was Gwen Ifill. She is a good speaker, by the way, and a fine representative of journalism (she specifically pointed out that she works on The News Hour, which has thus far continued to report news as opposed to sensationalism). She made a point during her speech to offer a tribute to Walter Cronkite, which garnered an enthusiastic ovation.
I offer this tidbit just to point out that Mr. Cronkite is appreciated and missed by thoughtful people everywhere. God bless him, and his family.

I'm going to discuss Walter Cronkite and his legacy after school starts and see what reactions the students have.
