Part of Main Street in Old Forge is being renamed in honor of Glynn Lunney. The ceremony is set for tomorrow morning. Glynn left us several years ago. Family members from the south will be at tomorrow's dedication.
Lunney helped get Apollo 11 to the moon as NASA flight director. He helped get Apollo 13 home and saved the lives of three astronauts.
I am thrilled we are celebrating a man of deeds and accomplishments, a man of science. We need to do more. I don't think anyone would complain about a Glynn Lunney monument or marker on Courthouse Square in Scranton.
We have too many things around here named after politicians, and far too many monuments. Their main claims to fame was spending your money. Thank you.
Let's honor the life of a man who actually did something.
