My dad worked at NASA Langley from the 1950's until 1988. He was there when the original Mercury 7 astronauts were training and provided technical support for their training needs. He always said that Glenn was the friendliest and most personable of the seven astronauts. Even then, before becoming the first American to orbit the earth and a US Senator, Glenn stood out among the nations best.
