Some interesting facts about
Corinne CronkiteSome interesting facts about Walter Cronkite is that his daughter was born on my birthday so not only do we share the same last name but the same birthday and my son looks allot like Walter and I can see a strong family resemblance in his children and me and my family. If there's ever a relative for some one to feel honored and proud to be related to it's Walter Cronkite.
