RIP Charles Osgood

[Tom McAndrew]

the newsman anchored CBS Sunday Morning for over 20 years, and also hosted The Osgood File on CBS Radio. He was 91.

He took over CBS Sunday Morning when Charles Kuralt retired -- a tough act to follow, but he did a great job (IMHO).

I always liked Osgood. He was a calm steady voice.

A class act.

Always made my days better when I heard him on the radio. RIP.

Legendary journalist when journalists were journalists. Cut from the cloth of Cronkite and Huntley/ Brinkley. Loved his trademark bow ties.

 

[BVSt.Paul]

Loved when he played the piano. Seemed like a genuine nice guy.

What’s weird is that his name was an answer in a crossword puzzle last week. I think it was the LA Times
