Aired on 03/17/2013 | CC tv-pg
Growing up in rural South Dakota, legendary journalist Tom Brokaw discovered his passion for news at an early age. Through it all, he remained grounded, which he credits in part to the values he learned as a child. "I've often said that I had my father's balls, my mother's brains and their common heart," he says. Watch as Tom reflects on his nearly "perfect parentage" and why even as a boy he always wanted to know what was going on beyond the Great Plains.
