Quote:Commemoration of Senator Glenn's death has relevance in this forum, too. He was a politician the kind of which we have precious few now. A true American hero, and one of the few statesman politicians, who refused to go negative when campaigning. I can only imagine how much the last few election cycles must have disappointed him.

 

As a child growing up during the space race, John Glenn inspired us to be curious about science, math and the possibilities beyond our own experience.

 

RIP John Glenn, a true Great American Hero.
