u.s. marine / cross country air speed record breaker / 1st astronaut to orbit the globe / ohio u.s. senator / oldest astronaut to return to space via space shuttle, & countless other accolades / awards / honors / etc, had a new u.s. navy logistics ship christened in his name recently. at 92 years old i'd say he has completed his "bucket list." oohrah!! & go buckeyes!!
