RIP CHARLES "CHUCK" CRAIG...

You weren't an actor by profession, but you gave the original "Night of the Living Dead" one of its most significant performances--and even got to play a ghoulish zombie along the line. 

As the newsroom reporter, you made John Russo's words credible, and through such, placed George A. Romero's cataclysmic vision on a whole other level. (I still remember how late-night Channel 7/WABC from New York would slap a disclaimer over your footage, declaring it fictional, so as not to cause another "War of the Worlds" stir.)

You were also responsible for the edifying series, "Sands of Time", where you enlightened listeners with people and events that impacted their lives. 

Thanks for sending a hardy tingle down our spines, Mr. Craig--and for making us believe enough in ourselves to influence the ways of the world. God bless, kind sir...
