Early life and educationAnna Margaret Castor was born on February 17, 1920 in Columbus, Ohio to parents Homer and Margaret Castor.[1] Her father was a dentist.[2] In 1923, the Castor family moved to New Concord, Ohio.[1] There, Castor became childhood friends with John Glenn; the pair later became high school sweethearts. After graduating from high school, Castor attended Muskingum College where she majored in music and education[1] with a minor in secretarial skills.[3] She graduated in 1942.[1] Even though she received an offer for a pipe organ scholarship from the Juilliard school of music, Castor declined the offer,[4] choosing instead to stay in Ohio with Glenn. Castor and Glenn were married on April 6, 1943.[1] Speech impairmentLike her father before her, Glenn has experienced a speech stutter throughout her life.[1] When she was young, it was determined that her stutter was present in eighty-five percent of her verbal utterances.[10] At age 53, Glenn found out about and attended an intensive three-week treatment course at Hollins Communications Research Institute in Roanoke, Virginia to help with her dysfluency.[5] After attending the course, her speech was greatly improved,[4] however, she does not consider herself "cured" of stuttering.[1] After attending the treatment course, she was able to interact verbally with others in a way that had been previously impossible.[3] In time, she was able to give speeches at public events[1] and at rallies in relation to her husband's political career.[3] Personal life and activitiesAt the time of her husband's death in December 2016, Annie and John Glenn had been married for 73 years and eight months. During the course of their marriage, the couple had two children and two grandchildren. Glenn's children are: John David, born in 1945, and Carolyn Ann, born in 1947.[1] Activities and involvementsOrganizations in which she is involved include:
Awards and honorsIn 1983, she received the first national award of the American Speech and Hearing Association for “providing an inspiring model for people with communicative disorders.”[1] In 1987, the National Association for Hearing and Speech Action awarded the first annual Annie Glenn Award for achieving distinction despite a communication disorder.[1] Glenn presented the award to James Earl Jones as its first recipient.[1] She was inducted into the National Stuttering Association Hall of Fame in 2004.[6] In 2015, The Ohio State University renamed 17th Avenue (on its campus) to Annie and John Glenn Avenue. The road is located in close proximity to the John Glenn College of Public Affairs and crosses through the heart of The Ohio State University’s academic core. Glenn is an adjunct professor with Ohio State’s Speech Pathology Department. In 2009, the university awarded her an honorary Doctorate of Public Service to recognize her work on behalf of children and others. The department awards the “Annie Glenn Leadership Award” annually to someone who has displayed innovative and inspirational work in speech/language pathology.[7] Portrayals in popular cultureGlenn was played by Mary Jo Deschanel in the 1983 movie The Right Stuff. The film highlighted her stuttering problem, particularly in a scene involving then-Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson during the buildup to John Glenn's Friendship 7 flight. In the 2015 ABC-TV series The Astronaut Wives Club, Annie is portrayed by Azure Parsons. See also
