“While initially we were disappointed, he did appear on July 4 and each of the Americana staff had the opportunity to spend a few minutes with John and his wife. We were introduced in a private meeting room. Wow! What a thrill. My observation was, here was a very common man who achieved one of the most mind-boggling achievements in our history — first man in orbit — but it was like meeting an old friend as he asked about the festival and our families. Glenn was a very humble man. We will cherish this wonderful experience for our lifetime.”
Everything we hear about Glenn just makes us miss him more. Drop me a line at rrollins@coxohio.com.
