God Speed John Glenn

A  L  O  H  A !

"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.

“We are our own dragons 
and our own heroes. 
We must rescue ourselves 
from ourselves.” 
Peter S. Beagle

Goodbye  Geese

“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.”
