Sad news: John Glenn is dead at age 95. I had the privilege of working for him for a while when he chaired the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee. He was a great American and a fine human being. One thing (among many) about him that I will never forget is his humility, which was truly remarkable given his many outstanding accomplishments. He was probably the most down to earth (no pun intended) member of Congress I ever encountered. We sure could use more folks like him in government today.
Senator Glenn was not only an Anerican hero, but also a true statesman. We will miss him!
