Body found floating in Hudson River

Anna Margaret Castor was born in Columbus, Ohio, on Feb. 17, 1920. She and her future husband met as toddlers, sharing the same playpen because their parents were friends, according to The Columbus Dispatch. They were married for 73 years at the time of John Glenn’s death in 2016.

Annie Glenn died at a nursing home near St. Paul, Minn., where she had been living to be nearer her daughter, Hank Wilson, a spokesman for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at Ohio State University, told The Associated Press.

She is survived by daughter Lyn and son David, The Columbus Dispatch said.

Friends and associates lauded her dedication to her husband, her support of his career and the country, and her courage in braving ridicule over her speech impediment in order to inspire others. She did so even after finding a program at Hollins University in the 1970s that helped quell her stuttering to a more manageable level. Until then, “she lived in fear of the simple tasks most people take for granted — using the telephone, taking public transportation and going shopping,” the John Glenn School of Public Affairs said in a statement.

A man’s body was found floating in the Hudson River near a Midtown dock Tuesday morning, police said.

A woman on the dock near W. 59th St. called 911 at 6:06 a.m. saying she saw a body in the river, cops said.

Police recovered the body and transported it to a nearby Sanitation Department facility.

The man’s age and cause of death were not clear. The city medical examiner will conduct an autopsy.
