    'saw a "Sounds of Sebring" album on ebay a couple of days ago with JMF's autograph with beginning bid of $150, IIRC.

      Walter also did live remotes from Sebring during the 1960 Sebring. My efforts to capture a copy from the CBS archives died a slow and painful death, even with Walter's blessing.

          Yes, but how many know that Walter Cronkite also DROVE race cars??

          In the Little LeMans endurance race at Lime Rock in 1959, he co-drove a Volvo PV444 to a B Division class win and 3rd overall. He also drove a Lancia Appia Zagato in the 1959 12 Hours Sebring along with Peter Baumberger and Warren Rohlfs to finish 40th overall and 5th in the 1300 cc class, sharing the track with such luminaries as Carroll Shelby, Dan Gurney, Phil Hill, Stirling Moss and Jim Hall.
