    John Glenn has passed away at 95

    The last of the Mercury 7 astronauts, the end of an era in early spaceflight, the passing of a good man. Rest in Peace, sir.

      I was thrilled to see Senator Glenn in his second ticker tape parade in 1998. The motorcade passed in front of the window of our offices across from NYC City Hall Park in Manhattan. Rest in Peace Senator.
