What did astronaut John Glenn do as a career after retiring from astronauting?

Stew	He was a Senator for many years but I think he might have gone into business for a time before being elected to the Senate. May 01 03, 10:23 PM

John Herschel, Jr. Glenn resigned from the Manned Spacecraft Center on January 16, 1964. He was promoted to the rank of Colonel in October 1964 and retired from the Marine Corps on January 1, 1965. He was a business executive from 1965 until his election to the United States Senate in November 1974. Glenn retired from the U.S. Senate in January 1999. http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/glenn-j.html Upon his retirement from the senate and return from space, John and Annie Glenn founded the John Glenn Institute for Public Service at the Ohio State University. Through its programs, they seek to improve the quality of public service and to encourage young people to pursue careers in government. The Glenns also serve as trustees of Muskingum College, their alma mater. http://www.johnglennhome.org/pages/john_glenn.htm May 04 03, 5:26 AM
