Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:50:25 +0000 #comment-787477 I was leaving a good speech from Commander and Chief Obama at Columbus OH University, back in November 2010, around 9PM. I was leaving and there sat an elderly man in his late 80s. I stopped by and said how are you doing Sir. He said fine. I told him the President did a very nice speech. He agreed with me, I pulled out my harmonica and did a Hoe Down on my Harmonica and clogged in my size 2 Light up shoes. He smiled at me, a lady walked up to me and said to me, you know who this is, I said Mam, I'm just saying hi and playing a song for him. She said this is Former US Senator John Glenn, I said I'm glad to meet you, I asked if he'd please sign my yellow envelope that was holding President Obama's Family picture that they autographed and sent to me from the White House back in Jan 2010. He said yes he would and I caught my Grey Hound bus just in time to go back to Southern OH at the time, I am so Honored to have met him no picture with him but I'm so happy to have met him.

Just missed a few minor but important details. John Glen and Friendship 7 splashed down in the Atlantic waters of the Turks & Caicos Islands. The first terra firma that he touched after his orbit was the island of Grand Turk. After a brief stay and celebration THEN he was escorted to NYC for the mentioned heroes welcome. Check out the Turks & Caicos National Museum site for additional information. Great article. Just missed a few minor but important details.
