Fox News just announcing.
I lived in that general area before that exit existed. But the road was still called “Colonel Glenn Highway”. Not sure when it got the name.

John Glenn
That’s enough for 2016.
Glenn Frey
Prince
He was my here of hero’s when I was a boy and young man. I lost 100% of that favor for him when he decided to to excuse Clinton for his tawdry misdeeds. He sounded just like Lanny Davis. There were thousands of men who could have done what he did.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth, And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth.
RIP John.
I was sitting in a bar in a small town in Bavaria watching a B&W TV, talking to a madchen, who was dressed in a dirndel.
Ad Astra
RIP sir.
I am glad to have had the opportunity to meet you many years ago when I was in high school I still have that photograph.
I care to remember him when he had huge balls and the world loved him.
RIP to a true American hero.
Actually he was the third in space behind Sheppard and Grissom. He was the first American to orbit.
Rest in peace sir .
It really does show how far we have fallen as a nation.
In the past thr Dummycrats night have been incompetent , the might have had the wrong ideas . But they still possessed genuine patriots in their ranks . The Marxist , anti - American party of thr 2016 Dummycrats has went far from thst path
As to Senator ...
I hope he was able to repent before he died.
The last surviving Mercury astronaut.
95 is a pretty good run.
And, hoping not to jinx the gentleman, Chuck Yeager still lives.
AOK, John ...
Schirra died May 3, 2007.
A toast! Godspeed John Glenn.
