Glenn welcomed members of The Cuyahoga County Mayors and City Managers Association on May 31. The Association held its monthly meeting in the Visitor Center Auditorium. Forty-two representatives of the 57-member cities attended the meeting that included an opportunity to become acquainted with Glenn technologies, facilities and explore the potential for partnering with the center. During a break, Martin Zanotti, mayor of Parma Heights and secretary of the association, commented how Glenn's communications expertise could possibly play a role in the development of a wireless network connecting the Cleveland metropolitan area to enhance its economic development. Center Director Dr. Woodrow Whitlow Jr. welcomed the guests and shared highlights of the center's work supporting NASA's Vision for Exploration. A tour of the Aeronautics Acoustic Propulsion Laboratory and 10- by 10-Foot Supersonic Wind Tunnel followed.

On May 19, NASA Glenn served as the host site for the NewsChannel 5 taping of the 2007 "Best of the Class" promotional advertisements. The television station filmed high school valedictorians from over 250 Northeast Ohio schools in one large group held inside the Hangar, and individual videos of each student at two stations inside the Visitor Center. Accompanying the students were 287 parents/guests, who were on hand to watch the activities. The Best of the Class segments aired on TV5 from late May to mid June.

On June 8, Robert Boone visited Glenn to see his childhood home, what is now known as the Guerin House. Boone's fiancee, Beverly Fredrick, accompanied him on the visit, as well as Gene Norris, whose family had owned land adjacent to the Guerin House, and his wife, Marilyn. Glenn Assistant Records Manager and History Officer, Anne Power, Logistics and Technical Information Division, hosted the visit. During the tour, Boone recounted that his father had purchased the 47 acres that the Guerin House sits on in 1931, and over the years constructed the house and several other buildings (which no longer exist). Boone lived in the home with his parents and siblings from 1935 until the 1950s. He explained the original purpose of the rooms and reminisced about his experiences while growing up in the home.
