5. I remember. We didn't have TV, but my mom told me

I wanted to go outside and see it. Odds are Glenn had already landed by then.
(We were in Japan and the flighthad probably occurred 12 hours previously)

6. When my dad bought a Super 8 camera & film projector in early 60's

It came with a reel of film about Glenn's historic flight. I still remember watching that.
