Good Grief

You may recall from The Right Stuff the rather embarrassed reaction of yet-to-fly astronauts to the nationwide adoration heaped upon them:

Gordon Cooper: You know something, Gus? I got me a new house, new furniture. Got me $25,000 a year on a magazine contract. Got me a Corvette. Got free lunch from one end of America to the other - and I ain’t even been up there yet.

No such reaction has been reported from the Messiah regarding a school being renamed for him. (Via Drudge.)
