"On February 20, 1962,
Glenn flew the Friendship 7
mission and became the
first American to orbit the Earth
and the fifth person in space,
after cosmonauts Yuri Gagarin and
Gherman Titov and the
sub-orbital flights of Mercury
astronauts Alan Shepard
and Gus Grissom. "
I was 8.
We watched it in school.
The future was happening
and we were to be part of it!
JFK was US President.
I had a Mercury Capsule
pencil sharpener.
and our own heroes.
We must rescue ourselves
from ourselves.”

“Heroes know that things
must happen when it is
time for them to happen.
A quest may not simply
be abandoned; unicorns
may go unrescued for
a long time, but
not forever; a happy
ending cannot come
in the middle
of the story.”
Peter S. Beagle
Thank You

An extraordinary man. I've shared an editorial cartoon over to your Facebook wall that pays tribute to him.
That bird is quite a sight.
He was a great American hero. We will always remember John Glenn.
