- I have always thought that Charles Kuralt had the perfect job. Traveling about America in a motorhome telling the story of everyday Americans. "On the Road with Charles Kuralt was my Idea of a perfect job. For 25-years Charles travel the backroad of America just "seeing what he could find." He traveled with an audio engineer named Larry Gianneschi and a cameraman name Izzy Bleckman. Together they introduced us to people like the Chandler Family who 9-children grew up in poverty on a cotton farm Mississippi. But Through hard work, sacrifice and a whole lot of love, all nine of those children grew up to be distinguished college graduates. He introduced us to a Brickmaker named George Black who made many of the bricks that we still see today when we walk down the streets of Old Salem, In Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
When Charles left the Road he was the first host of the CBS TV News Magazine called "Sunday Morning." In True Kuralt Style, “Sunday Morning” would be more than a two or three minute sound bites, it would be made up of Feature stories about people and place, about books and art. About things that, just made you want to sit, and relax while having your coffee on Sunday Morning.
Charles Kuralt was a master story teller and when he passed away on Independence Day 1997, he was laid to rest in the Old Chapel Hill Cemetery on the Campus of his Alma Mater, The University of North Carolina.
"On the Road" and "Sunday Morning"were two of the best Sunday shows out there.
That they were, I always enjoyed them. I was sorry to hear that Charles Osgood passed away a few weeks back. Thank You for Watching and for your comment.
He loved his family life so much, he decided that one was not enough.
No kiddin...LOL.
I enjoy the Sunday Morning still. My late husband and I started watching it in the mid nineties. I can't pick a favorite show, but do remember the show featuring the story on candy corn and Peeps.
Funny, I to remember the Candy Corn and Peeps show. Thank You for Watching, and for taking the time to comment.
I wonder whats around the bend
So do I, I always looked forward to him taking us on the road and around the bend. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
I loved this man. I watched him every Sunday for years. I miss him.
Sunday Morning Tradition in our house for years. Thank You for Watching and for you wonderful comment.
He was a wonderful writer
Yes he was I loved the way he delivered his On The Road pieces. Thanks for watching and for commenting.
We would record him on the VCR while we were at church. (Always nice to be able to hit FF and skip the commercials!) I wondered why you didn't show the the back of his tombstone - where it would usually have the family name ?
Thanks for a very heartwarming video! (My original family landed in Edenton, NC from England) 👍
There was nothing on the back of the Headstone. Thank you for watching and your memory and kind comments.
@@tombstonesandtravel8805 Ah, thank you for explaining! Maybe it's just the style in our family cemetery in East Texas. Have also wondered about husband and wife on left and right when looking down at their graves. Thought it was fairly basic for the man to be on the left, but apparently that isn't the case much of the time... 🪦
@@Austin8thGenTexan Here in Virginia, especially in the small family and country Church cemeteries, it was an age old tradition for the husband to be buried on the left with his wife on the right. I don't know where the tradition originated other than our pastor said that it places the wife closer to her husbands heart. But in the new larger cemeteries I have notice that the tradition is not observed.
