God Speed, John Glenn

I was in the fifth grade when John Glenn went up in a Mercury spacecraft.  At the time we had an old black and white TV at school and everything would stop when a spacecraft went up and we would watch.  Walter Cronkite would narrate.  If was so exciting.  Glenn was 95 and we shall miss him.  He was the last of the original 7 astronauts.
