"Good man" indeed. John Glenn set the bar high...very high. Quite a resume:
Fighter pilot in WWII and Korea
Marine Test Pilot
Member original Mercury 7 Astronaut Program
3rd man in space and first to orbit the earth
US Senator
Chief author Nuclear Non-Proliferation Act of 1978
Married to the same woman for 72+ (!) years
And that's just the short version.
EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot...back into space on a Shuttle mission at age 77!
