John Glenn

[Mitchell 1969]

Ignoring any possible sarcasm. Oswald got press because he was so bad, and Jerry got press because he did take an active role in being a good will ambassador for CAP. Glenn was/did neither.

I don't remember any active role for Jerry Lewis. That doesn't mean that there wasn't one, just that I can't remember one.

I've only seen...I think, three photos of Jerry Lewis in connection with CAP. Two of the photos were taken on the same day, same place, with a couple of cadets. In both photos, he is wearing a khaki shirt. One of the photos shows him standing behind a sign. The other one doesn't have the sign - revealing the absence of a belt and buckle. But, that doesn't matter - the trousers appear to be from a civilian suit.

Laid to rest today at Arlington.

I noticed a blurb about that. Why is he just now being buried? Did they prop him up by the jukebox?

"Though Glenn died Dec. 8 in Columbus, Ohio, his family asked for his burial to be scheduled
four months later on April 6, the 74th anniversary of his marriage to his high school sweetheart Annie."

according to the Arlington Cemetery web page, for a burial it can take from 3-6 months to schedule an interment.
