Hello.

John Glenn, now 83 years old, is campaigning for John Kerry.  Glenn
attended and gave brief speech at the Democratic convention a few
weeks ago.

Here's a transcript of Sen Glenn's speech:

More details from the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
http://www.cleveland.com/news/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/news/1091093591297492.xml

The article indicates that "the thoroughly Midwestern Glenn... splits
his time between his Washington home and Ohio State University in
Columbus..."

Specifically, Sen. Glenn serves an adjutant professor and is the
founder and chairman of the John Glenn Institute at Ohio State.

More information:
"After careers as a Marine aviator, NASA astronaut, and U.S. Senator,
Glenn came to deplore the negative image many young people hold
towards a public service career.  Determined to do what he could to
reverse this negativity, in October 1998 he joined with The Ohio State
University to create the John Glenn Institute for Public Service and
Public Policy.  Glenn presently holds a position as an adjutant
professor in both the Department of Political Science and the School
of Public Policy and Management at Ohio State and is Chairman of the
Board of Directors for the John Glenn Institute.  Through these
positions Glenn continues to share the knowledge gained from more than
fifty years of service to the public."
