Happy Birthday to John Glenn!

84 years old today...fighter pilot in WW2 and Korea, first American to orbit the Earth in 1962 aboard Friendship 7, oldest man to orbit the Earth at age 77 aboard the shuttle Discovery in 1998...5 terms as US Senator from Ohio...

A man who truly has...The Right Stuff!

And here's someone with...The Wrong Stuff!...what a contrast...
