A highlight of my year as a Knight Wallace Fellow was an encounter with the legendary newsman who so generously supported the program. I rode my bike to Wallace House the evening Mike Wallace was meeting with our group. As I struggled to tie the bike to a post on uneven ground, a familiar voice behind me bellowed: “Do you need any help?” Before I could say anything, the world's most famous journalist was crouched down next to me, steadying my bike while I locked it. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolence to the Mike Wallace Family. As a teenager, I only watched the news when I had to do "current events" as a high school class assignment. However, upon graduating from high school, '60 Minutes' was born and I became a great fan of the show and its correspondent Mike Wallace. When Mike said "Come on" it use to gas me. I thought that that was so c-o-o-l. Fortunately for me, 60 Minutes was the turning point in my life for the love and respect for journalism. RIP Mike Wallace.

Mr. Wallace, you will surely be missed. RIP. Sandy Rogers, Hull,Ga

You will be missed, and you will be remembered! May it be a good journey.

To the Wallace Family and the world a great voice has been silenced. Mr. Wallace left behind a legacy that the truth is the most important item in reporting the news. He was a shining example of the "Greatest Generation." I chuckle to imagine the interview he is conducting with God in the heavens now.

God bless Mike Wallace. Beyond great news reporting over more than half a century, we observe his courage in opening up about clinical depression. He gave hope to members of the public suffering from this very real disease which had previously -- over decades -- been wrongly termed a weakness in character.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
