In this video, produced by the John Glenn School of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University, Annie Glenn shares some the highlights of her amazing life.
Her stutter is not as hard to comprehend as I imagined reading the book. She must have gained confidence in communicating over time❤ What a life she lived. Rest in heaven Mrs. Glenn☀️
The scene in the movie the right stuff, where astronaut Glenn backs up his stuttering wife, always brings tears to my eyes. Annie and John are not just true American heroes, theirs is one of the true American romances. I still hold to faith in heaven, but whatever one’s belief is, I think we can all be grateful ( and amazed) that they stayed so long on this plane of earth. In these tough times it’s especially important to remember that not all things are bad. Stay positive folks, love one another.
We tend to be disappointed by our heroes from the 60's the more we find out about them. This is not true of John and Annie Glenn. Them more we know about them the more admirable they are.
I just read Glenn's Memoir and wondered if there was anything on Annie (a crucial person in the story) on the web. When I found this I was very gratified. I'm so glad that treatment options caught up with her in time to allow us to hear her voice. A beautiful piece.

NASA didn't want him to fly again in the 1960s because they didn't want to risk losing him. Losing a major hero would be a big setback during the Apollo program.
President Kennedy considered him a national treasure and told NASA not to let him fly again. He became a U.S. senator and at the age of 70 went up on the space shuttle so doctors could study the effects of space travel on the elderly.
That’s not true President Kennedy wouldn’t’ allow John to go back into space so NASA abided by his wishes. He went to the International Space Station to participate in medical studies on how an older persons body could adjust to the conditions in space. I hardly think that a man who served in the USMC as a fighter pilot in WWII and Korea was afraid. I suggest you research before you open your mouth!

I'm sure she worked at it. But it's common to often come on in fits when a person is upset or otherwise distressed.
Annie Glenn story would make a good movie

It has long been said that behind every GREAT man is a GREAT woman and I think that is mostly true.
I reckon every great man has better woman behind him. Seems like quite a gal! Godspeed John and Annie. Semper Fi

John Glenn was over the top ambitious, but he sure married a great lady.
She was an amazing woman! May she rest in peace. I wish we could have a school named after her in Houston.
Lived more lifetimes in her one life than any of us could in 10. Lived to the grand age of 100. What a beautiful soul...
Rest In Peace Annie. And thank you!
I had the honor of meeting her in the early 80's where I worked at the REI at college park md ..She was so pleasant a person and a true icon..
What a fantastic story!! Your an inspiration to all Annie! I'm sure every kid would like to have a mother like you!

Heard he was too afraid to fly again so that is why he quit the space program.
Might want to be careful with the fake news.
He went up again in his 70s. Apparently you don't read.
