John Glenn was an Ohio “Home State” hero, an American hero and, in his golden years, an inspirational example of the benefits engaged and vigorous seniors bring to society.
Glenn was born in 1921 in Cambridge, raised in New Concord, was an alumnus of Muskingum College, served four distinguished terms as a U.S. Senator from Ohio, and was a long-time benefactor of the prestigious public affairs institute at Ohio State that bore his name.
