"I was eight, watching him on black and white television every night in Elmira, NY. In our home, my mother refused to serve dinner until the CBS Evening News was over. And I announced my intention to my family, apparently at the age of eight to my family, that he was the man I wanted to be and this was the profession I wanted and I’ve lived such a charmed life that I got the chance to explain that to Walter and tell him that and make it clear and just—was able to breathe the air he exhaled."
—Brian Williams, recipient of The 2009 Walter Cronkite Award, presented each fall.
