Friendship 7 + 50
Presumably like a lot of people here, I'll be raising a glass today to toast
John Glenn on the fiftieth anniversary of his first mission. And it's great that unlike Gagarin and Shepard, Glenn is still with us to witness his anniversary. Here's to you, John. -- Gordon Davie Edinburgh, Scotland "Slipped the surly bonds of Earth...to touch the face of God." |
