Having just worked my way through Scott Berg’s long biography of Charles Lindbergh, and being a huge fan of John Glenn since I was a boy, Bill Flanagan’s commentary (transcript) on Glenn (and Lindbergh) this morning was particularly riveting.
It started when Glenn’s daughter, a St. Paul resident, asked if Flanagan would mind saying hello to her parents.
Imagine how humble the DNA must run in the Glenn family to ask the question that way.
