So sad what has become of so called "journalism". Thanks for the memories of Walter.

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

For many our age, Cronkite is still the standard upon which we measure “news.”

[@davidniehaus202]

Jeff would you fulfill my suggestion by visiting the grave of John philip sousa please and you are a sweet special kind guy on youtube 🌴🌴

[@lupitaolson7837]

Jeff, thank you for reminding us of what a great man Mr Cronkite was. He was a first-class reporter. RIP MR Cronkite 🙏.

[@eddie8279]

A great man? Friends of the Clinton's....

[@richardbeee]

"None of that will change". When reporters were reporters. "And now you know the rest of the story." Always loved him. Life is like, a box of chocolates!

[@ahbenjamin2889]

I would be scared to be locked inside after evening hours !!!! Great video as usual. I was struck by the simplicity of Mr. Cronkite's grave. What an inspiring and authentic human being.

[@suzanneochs1543]

I was 4 when President Kennedy was assasinated...but I remember every detail of that moment in my house that continued for the next few days. I knew it was bad and very sad as my mother was crying. Seeing this man on TV take off his glasses with such emotion to share with the world what had happened. He was family to everyone. Also, remember with excitement and anticipation the landing on the moon. He just had this way about him. Never been anyone else like him ! He was something special. Thank you for another great history lesson and walk down memory lane. Happy Sunday Jeff and Sarah.

[@connie2558]

I'm older than you but I was in elementary school and out class was silent for the first time ever. Mom was crying when I got home and that was very rare. Terrible time.

[@connie2558]

Many people are starting to compare older architecture to modern. That mausoleum would be a great example. No character to modern buildings. Your camera lighted all the rooms so I didn't get the creepies, temperature and smell may have added to your experience. Thanks for another great video.

[@georgemccoy219]

Great video. Like you I grew up with Walter Cronkite reporting the day's news. He kept it straight and gave you the facts, letting you make up your own mind about the events of the day. How refreshing, compared to today, where media packages the news according to their particular political viewpoint. The stories behind Russell Stover and his involvement with the Eskimo Pie was unknown to me. Eskimo Pie was one of my favorites as a kid. Funny, I would have expected Walter Cronkite's final resting place to be more like Stover's! Thank you for all the research and hard work you put into these videos.

[@dstu322]

Walter was on the air for so many key historical events of the 20th century 😮

[@jbenziggy]

Yes he was!

[@danapretzer1895]

So different now Walter was there and we could trust what he said. He was like a member of the family. Todays media too polarized too untrustworthy . Wish we could go back in time . Jeff this must have been a thrill for you with you being a newsman too. And thats the way it is another Great Vlog from History Hunters.

[@ourlifeinwyoming4654]

Amen!

[@janh5199]

I am 71 so I remember Walter Cronkite broadcasting the news very well. His mother is buried in Mt. Muncie cemetery in Lansing, KS.

[@jbenziggy]

It would be hard to forget this television icon! Thanks for watching!

[@salysellsss]

When I visited Martha’s Vineyard in the 90’s where many celebrities lived, I remember being most excited to see Walter Cronkite of all people!

[@jbenziggy]

Very cool. Did you get to speak to him or only spot him from a distance?

[@tomtransport]

Before he anchored CBS News he had a show in the 50's called "You Are There". Actors would dress up as various famous people each week and Walter would interview them. Famous naval heroes, Generals,. inventors, industrious pioneers like Andrew Carnegie, presidents, etc. It was on CBS on Sundays and always I watched it. I remember he interviewed Betsy Ross. CBS has fallen a long way down since the days of Edward R Murrow, Douglas Edwards and Walter Cronkite. Well done Jeff.😀

[@allenbrooksoffical]

Welcome to Kansas City. So happy to see your video from my hometown. I have several family members buried at Mount Mariah.... Great video... Thank You!

[@krystalkirby2621]

Walter Cronkite WAS the news. No one has since even measured up to him. And that’s the way it is!

[@footballlvnlady]

Walter Cronkite was on every night in our household growing up! His voice and the way he spoke the news just had a soothing effect on me. He was the best in my book. I was six when JFK was assassinated. I don’t remember the day of the shooting. Do remember coming home from church the Sunday after with my mom. My dad was watching the coverage on TV. My father never missed church but he did that day. My mom always loved Russell Stover chocolates. I bought her boxes over the years for many birthdays and Christmas gifts. She could’ve had more expensive chocolates but she preferred Russell Stover. I hope you and Sarah had a wonderful trip to visit your family!

[@dianechristie6841]

It's me again! Walter Conkite was born in that town where Jesse James passed away. We have the Walter Conkite Memorial Hwy here in good ol' St Joseph.

[@webchuck1]

Hello Jeff, Thanks for sharing the resting places of Walter Cronkite and Russell Stover and their stories. May they Rest 🙏 Peace. As alway's have a wonderful sunday!

[@richglenn3729]

I remember the moon landing and Walter’s coverage of it. I went outside that night and stared at the moon, so far away yet so close now. It was a beautiful summer night. Thank you Walter for sharing that event with me.

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks for sharing! What a surreal experience, huh?

[@marchwind1000]

I met Walter Cronkite during the 1996 Olympics during the boating events in Savannah Georgia and he was a very pleasant and ordial person to meet

[@OSTARAEB4]

He was the Nation’s gentleman and it was big news handing the baton over to Rather. I met Betsy a couple of times and she was unpretentious and a dignified, matronly like woman. Simple markers in the Heartland.

[@tomleary4705]

Growing up in the 70's the Stover house was a must stop for Halloween. She would give out 4 packs of chocolates. Fond memories thanks

[@jbenziggy]

Wow, so you got to meet Clara? I just bought her book and am reading it! They may have been rich later in life but wow, did they ever sacrifice and take risks!

[@nuttinhoney80]

I was 2 years old when President Kennedy died in 1963. I always like your videos. They're a great history lesson.

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks! Well seeing how I was also two years old when JFK was killed, I suppose we were both born in 1961?

[@MCW1955]

Thank you Jeff. Didn’t expect such a simple marker, unadorned. But why in this day and age would anyone be interested in someone who gave us the straight story. I’m 68 and remember his space reporting. A true professional (much like yourself). Always looking forward to your next story.

[@sside8]

I liked Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings. You’re right when you say local news has become national news anymore. The three network morning shows always talk about New York City news like it’s national news.

[@aliveat55]

I was 8 years old when Kennedy was shot and sitting in my 3rd grade class in Castro Valley CA when the principal of the school came in to inform the teacher what had happened with tear's in their eye's they told us what had happened. It seemed that day that America had died. What a sad time. Thanks for sharing the video as always I enjoyed it.

[@CassySoSassy]

His mom is buried here in Leavenworth Kansas. He paid to have flowers placed there often. She lived to be 101! I like to think she was as brilliant and calm as Walter was and so proud of her son. She passed in 1993 and lies in a very old part of the Mt Muncie Cemetery. That’s how I stumbled upon her, learning about those buried around her over 100 years before she was born. Her grave marker is flat and small, humble…I read so much into that too as to perhaps how simple and sweet a person may have been. Walter comes from a long line of men who made a difference in America. His dad and grandfather were doctors, and great grandfather was a farmer who was a civil war veteran. Thank you again for another great KC area historical adventure. mt Moriah is a really amazing cemetery. I’m so glad you were able to visit there.

[@jbenziggy]

It was a fun cemetery visit for me! I hit a lot of places that day so I had to make my visit short!

[@Grumpy63uk]

I’m from the UK so I don’t know Walter but what a voice , you could listen to it all day just so soothing 😍🤩💕

[@skiptalaska8603]

Walter Cronkite WAS the news when I was growing up in the 1960's. Between Cronkite and Huntley - Brinkley was a toss-up, but my parents always went with " The most trusted man in America".

[@redmccoy8633]

The mold was broken after Walter Cronkite. Sad that NO ONE will ever come close to his integrity. He was quite the man. Thanx Jeff!

[@robertcassey4014]

I was born in 1958. When you heard Walter’s voice, one would get a calming feeling. Kind of like listening to Vin Scully. BTW, great imitation Jeff!

[@joycemchristiansen6557]

My neighbor ran across the street to tell me to turn on my TV that President Kennedy had just been shot. We listened to Walter Cronkite and saw his grief and cired after he said our President had died. We broke down as well. Never had i seen a news person show any emotion before. It is a memory I have carried ever since that awful day. Thank you for this episode.

[@jbenziggy]

I was only two years old when it happened, so I have no memory, but I have heard stories about my mother, who was in her 20s, breaking down and crying, and my grandmother admonish her to stop crying. My mother, then explained to her that she cried like a baby when Franklin Roosevelt died. I just think my grandmother was upset to see her daughter upset and crying. No matter who your president is it’s a horrible thing to experience an assassination.

[@ScottAbgekurtz]

I grew up in Roeland Park, KS, I still to this day remember the Stover mansion in Mission Hills. While Mrs. Stover was alive and living in the mansion she had red awnings over all of the windows with her husband’s stylized initials on all of the awnings. When Mrs. Stover died they had an estate sale at the mansion, my mother and a friend of hers took me to the auction at the mansion. I’m sure my mother still has some trinkets that she bought there.

Jeff, Walter Cronkite was a news icon during his life …well done 👍

[@rhondaz356]

Jeff, what an excellent, as always, video this is. That was an awesome tribute to Walter Cronkite. I was a child when Pres. Kennedy was assassinated. I recall every, single detail, as if it was yesterday. This is the first time I have seen the tape of an "emotional" Walter Cronkite since I saw it back then. I remember it like it just happened, including the removal of the glasses, and the hard swallowing. WOW Unfortunately, I *know the Stovers all too well.😋 They made wise business decisions, and their candy is still around. There is something about mausoleums. I know what you mean, Jeff. That one is obviously very well kept up though. Thank you for sharing this with us. 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹💐

[@sandraponce9895]

I can't remember yesterday well, but I sure do remember every detail bout Nov 22 1963. The Principal at my school came into our class room and took our teacher aside and told her the news, she started to cry, we had no idea what had happened til she came back in the classroom and told us.

[@rhondaz356]

I remember all of that. He was a good newscaster I watched him all the time. I remember when he covered about Kennedy ❤❤❤❤

[@joelhurley2678]

Jeff, I had the pleasure of meeting him in 2006 at the Henry Ford Museum where I worked at the time. Small world he was a friend of an acquaintance of mine. Walter Cronkite probably would have been buried in Kansas City or Kansas even if he had not married his wife. His mother is buried in Mount Muncie cemetery in Lansing, Kansas. If you ever go to Lansing Kansas, the In Cold Blood Killers are there. Walter Cronkite's Mother had family in Leavenworth, Kansas. They owned a store there which were Walter Cronkite's Grandparents. His Father's family was from St. Joseph, MO. Really enjoyed your show today, thanks for sharing 👍 😀 😊.

[@stephengraham5099]

[@hazelanderson1479]

We had Richard Dimbleby, the USA had Walter Cronkite. Two titans of news broadcasting whose like I doubt we shall see again.

[@mernarodway7301]

Walter Cronkite was THE voice that guided us through JFK's assination and funeral. A true professional who brought the nation through the most devastating news most of my generation had gone through at the time. We grieved and yet he was the wise grandfather who guided us with fact and not opinion. Today there are no "reporters" only opinion shows disguised as "news" 😥 Russell Stover candy is the best! Now my sweet tooth is yelling "Feed Me"!

[@deborahczepiel7355]

You always do such fantastic videos, this was great, really enjoyed it. I remember coming home from school crying and then watching Cronkite announce the death of Kennedy.

[@jbenziggy]

I was only two years old when the JFK assassination occurred so I don’t remember it, but I choke up every time I see Cronkite delivering the horrible news to the American people. You could just feel the lump in his throat to acknowledge that such a popular president had been murdered. That’s just a horrible thing to happen to our leader no matter who he is.

[@lindai5280]

Yes I remember him well. And during the 1960’s my elementary school teachers would show his “You are There” history films.

[@d.l.l.6578]

In doing the genealogy of the family we found Walter Cronkite was indeed a distant relative of mine. When I worked at a TV station in the 70s I often thought about that. Great video.

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks for sharing, Rita! What a cool connection!

[@timothymoore3218]

Another great video. I will have to go visit Walter as I live only a few minutes away. Walter’s family was from St. Joseph, MO which is not too far from Kansas City. Walter lived in Kansas City, was married there, and I believe worked for The Kansas City Star. He came back occasionally to the area to visit. I remember him coming back to open the newly restored Folly Theater as well as helping launch the campaign to restore the once dilapidated Union Station, now a gem of Kansas City where the NFL Draft was just held. His cousin, Kay Barnes went on to become two term mayor of Kansas City, the first woman to hold the office. Once again, quite an enjoyable video. I hope you enjoyed or are enjoying your time in Kansas City. Hopefully you will get a chance to visit Union Station and the National World War Museum located up the hill from the station.

[@fumblebunny1993]

I grew up on Walter Cronkite and made sure to watch his last broadcast in 1981...I was 24 yrs old. Sometimes, my dad would watch Huntley & Brinkley but 99% of the time, we watched Mr. Cronkite, It is so sad what the evening news has evolved into nowadays. i feel like they are political advocates instead of reporting national and world news. I miss those days when we felt we could trust the news. Sure, CBS had a more conservative leaning and NBC leaned a more Democrat - inspired newscast but it was a healthy rivalry....not the mess it is in today's world. Russell Stover was my mother's favorite candy. And although their factory closed here in Middle Tennessee a few years ago, we still have factory stores off the interstates across the State where you can buy seconds or slightly expired for a lot less than retail price. We still stop every time we see one! Thank you for a great video! Didn't know that Russell Stover helped develop Eskimo Pies!

[@jbenziggy]

Thanks for sharing your experiences watching these television news icons. I think Russell Stover was more of a Midwest phenomenon so you probably had more experience with it. Out in California we had See’s candy as well as Hershey chocolate as it was manufacturing chocolate bars in my hometown of Oakdale, California, so Hershey was big and our family. I have never seen a Russell Stover store, but I do see it on the shelves of the drugstore.

[@fumblebunny1993]

@@jbenziggy See's comes to Nashville at Christmas and sets up kiosks in our snazziest mall 😊 It is delicious candies too! What doesn;t sell on your drugstore shelves by the expiration date is sent back to the RS Factory stores along the interstates. It seems like they will sell it a year or so after its exp date. It is still good! i plan to start donating to your channel as these types of channels are so important to American history. Thank you for doing this!

Thank you for the research and great production quality you put into this. I, like you, grew up watching Cronkite as a kid, otherwise known as "the remote control!" I've called KC home for close to 30 years and didn't realize he was buried here. Walt retired to his yacht and would sail the Intercoastal waterway along the eastern seaboard. Periodically, he would moor up at the Fairfield Harbor marina in New Bern, NC where I grew up. Thanks again Jeff for the great content!

My Auntie Gloria (the former actress) appeared on a TV episode of "You Are There" portraying the historical figure of Lady Jane Grey, broadcast from nearly seventy yrs ago, and so she probably met up w/ Cronkite (he was the host of the series) as they were most likely ensconced there in the same CBS studio. My paternal grandfather was a KC boy (yea!). Of course, L.A. has its chocolate emporium-head equivalent in Charles See, founder of See's Candies, and he's interred @ FLG. Speaking of the latter, if you felt uneasy being in the mausoleum depicted, you should try out the GM in the virtually uninhabited (visitor-wise) sections away from the LS Window area; one area is claimed to be haunted. 😀 I've been on the grounds in the oldest section of FLG an hour before closing when it was pitch dark outside (excepting the sporadic electrical light illuminations), and I found that to be SO K-O-O-O-O-O-L!

When News was news, honest and truthful. Imagine that.
