Maybe its just plain,old-fashioned curiosity,or a sense of adventure,or perhaps its because they miss something,specifically,times gone by. You know,you don't realize that the 'Good Old Days' even were the 'Good Old Days' till they were gone. So,maybe its a search for a simpler time. And I am sure that every country has at least one,but we have been very fortunate to have some of the people who have taken the time to not necessarily take us back,but to show us that some of what we had 'back then',is still here now.While everything you see and hear tells you to go here and buy this and get that,they remind us that there are still people in places that just 'live life',usually without all of the pressure of having to have or be it all. How many times have you driven down the same road and never really noticed everything,until one day you get a flat tire and have to walk it? Then,it seems you truely see all of the things you been missing. "Stop And Small The Roses",I believe is the phrase,which applies to all of us who never take the time to enjoy the simpler things,like old cars,old people, sunsets and rainbows and children playing,a good laugh,making someone smile. "Look at all we're missing..." is maybe what Mr. Kuralt was trying to say. As to his 'personal life'.it should be just that,'PERSONAL'! We're all human and subject to making mistakes. Charles Kuralt was just a man,and from what I know of him not a perfect man,as I am sure he would never have claimed to be. Should we care of the man or woman who finds a cure for cancer or a.i.d.'s has been married ten times,or had a fling one night in Toledo? I think not. I HOPE NOT! From what I have seen and read,to me,Charles Kuralt was a 'Good Man',and that's about all we,the public,should ask.

But Kuralt had a super personality. Even without "CBS on the side of the bus". The guy chain smoked as I recall, slept with a source and looked like your washing machine repair man.
