RIP: John Glenn

[micropolitan guy]

Not a bad comparison.

Bill Bradley too. A guy who should have been a popular candidate couldn't inspire anyone.

RIP, Mrs. Glenn.

John Glenn is my hero. I've read his autobiography so many times my original copy literally fell apart. I can still recite passages of it from memory. He wrote a lot about his wife's struggle with stuttering.

An amazing woman in her own right.

“Annie, listen to me, OK? You listening? If you don't want the Vice President or the TV networks or anybody else to come into the house, then that's it, as far as I'm concerned. They are NOT coming in, and I will back you all the way, a hundred percent on this. And you tell them that, OK? I don't want Johnson or any of the rest of them to set as much as one TOE inside our house.”

Annie Glenn. A kind and generous woman.

I loved LBJ's reaction in "The Right Stuff."

Same here. Might get out my DVD of "The Right Stuff" ... haven't watched it in a while ...

"The Right Stuff" is my second-favorite movie of all time.

Thumbs up to all above. I will watch The Right Stuff whenever I come across it. Great film, great cast, great story. Gonna have to seek it out soon.

Sleep well, Annie Glenn. What a remarkable life for you and John Glenn.
