Remember last year when we played '25 Things About Me'? Glenn was one of the early posts and I thought we would enjoy hearing from him one more time. We will miss you, Glenn, you sweet, funny man.02/11/09 01:12 PM #33 EDIT DELETE

I started working at 15 for BISD during summers. John McGee ('68) and I worked with paint crews. Painted inside and outside of almost every school in our district, including Hopper Field pressbox (standing on 6" board with no safety lines). To this day, I'm afraid of heights and I refuse to pick up a paint brush. The painting thing is in my marraige contract and of course, scaling deer stands and mountains is optional.
Injured my knee in South Houston football game our senior year. Dr Zeek taped me up the following Monday and sent me out to practice where in short order the injury was made worse. Sat out for 3 weeks then got to play for 2 weeks before injuring again. This trial and error treatment lasted throughout the season until the tear locked my knee in place at a 20 degree angle. Had to miss baseball and other spring sports and had corrective surgery 3 days after graduation.
Spring break 1971, the day before Easter, Marc Davis and I were returning home from a day of golf. Two miles from home we were involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver. The other driver died, we were lucky. Marc had a concussion and nearly cut off his ear. I had broken knees, hip, ankle and injured neck. Spent a week in the hospital and could not walk for a month. I had to withdraw from all classes at Brazosport College for that semester. Clifton Williams (our class) was a passenger in the other car and was severly injured, but survived.
Got to work with many fellow BISD grads during Dow strike in 1971. Anybody remember the mag cells? I remember taking home close to $4,000 that summer. What a windfall for a college kid. Tommy Palmer and I went together and spent $100 on an old Chevy truck to drive through the picket lines. Old Smokey would burn about a quart of oil per mile. Crossing the picket lines caused some rift with union family and friends. The $4.25/hour and extreme work conditions were great motivators for continuing higher education.
Graduated from Sam Houston in 1993 BBA, Business Management and Economics. Our intermural football team, MAURADERS, won the school championship 3 years in a row. Never allowing school to interfere with fun, we also played golf almost daily when possible. I also landed probably the best job ever. I was hired to work part-time for the university maintenance department. My assignments were the girls dorms and sorority houses. Our battle cry when we entered the building was "Man In the Hall". What an education!
Met and married,Judy, my best friend, and bride of soon to be 31 years while employed as purchasing agent for Southwest Chemical and Plastics in Seabrook, Texas. Feel free to feel sorry for her, she deserves better.
Got to work with Marc Davis in the late 70's at Baker World Trade in Houston. Will never forget our whirlwind trip on the company lear jet to Calgary, Canada.
We have two great kids, Shane, born in Clear Lake, 1980 and Courtney, born in Katy, 1983. Today both live in Austin. Shane works in film industry and Courtney in marketing. Both are single. I continue to wait, not very patiently, for grandkids to spoil.
In 1983, I joined forces with a college room mate. Through our friendship and corporations, we continue to do our part to help with the engery crisis. We are now in our 26th year in the oilfield specialty chemical industry. We have developed and continue to market products worldwide that are used in the drilling process for oil, gas and water exploration.
I was an avid golfer until kid sports consumed my time. Got to play with several of my heroes: John David Crow, Roger Maris and Lou Holtz. (I would always wear either Mantel #7 or Maris #9 in Little League.) I was amazed with the physical stature of Roger Maris. I will never forget the Popeye like forearms. (No steroids added.) Have not touched a golf club in 10 years!
Was also an avid runner for 15 years. Went from 40+ miles a week to walking a few miles a week. (Knees said NO MAS!)
Coached youth sports for 12 years (baseball, basketball and softball). I remain very competitive at most things I try to acoomplish.
Stephenville is where my mother was raised and where my father owned the airport in the late 1940's. They met and married in Stephenville. As a kid I would spend many family vacations there. My great grandfather traded a herd of horses for his land. We built our home in Stephenville in 1994 on 400 acres of old family property we purchased from my grandparent's estate. The property dates back to the Spanish Land Grant and our home is built on the same spot as old 1800's home. The Bosque River crosses our property. Great fishing and scenery.
For fun we raise cattle on our homeplace and deer at our "Buckwild" ranch located "east of Eden" in west Texas. Judy is very understanding as I get to spend many hours having fun outdoors. Of course, this too is in our marriage contract.
I still enjoy my work. With today's technology we are able to take care of business from anywhere. I'm thinking I may stick around for one more market boom!
We are still huge fans of high school sports and support our local Stephenville teams. College football also ranks high on our to do list.
I'm reminded that in 1994 Stephenville was to face Allan Weddell's LaMarque Cougars for the second year in a row for the 4A State Football Championship. Stan Alcott convinced me to call Allan on a few occasions and talk smack. Finally, Allan told me that if LaMarque won he was going to tell our booster club that I gave him all of our plays and they would then burn my house down. I never got to thank Allan for "throwing" that game and saving my house! If my memory serves me well, Stephenville owns a 2-0 advantage in State Championship games vs. Allan's Cougars.
We donate at least 2000 pounds of high protein meat to various food banks and senior nursing homes on an annual basis. I also volunteer for Meals on Wheels as time allows.
I'm proud to say my shoe size has not changed in 40 years.
I have all of my hair except for the solar panel.
My beard looks bleached blonde, much like Dee's head. I'm thinking a gradual reveal to expose baby butt smooth skin. The gradual part is so I won't spook young children and older women!
My blonde roots are not showing as much as Dee's and I have had no artificial enchancements. My only enhancements have been caused by groceries.
Son, Shane, is a member of Screen Actors' Guild, Writers' Guild, and voting member for Academy Awards. He gets to view movies in advance of public release. We are kept up-to-speed on the good,bad and ugly flicks in the pipeline. Many times I go to the theater strictly for the popcorn. Nothing comes close to a good chick flick, popcorn and a power nap at the movies!
Jack Bauer and Rush Limbaugh rule!
The Davis/Carrol frog affair reminds me of Tommy Palmer's love of snakes. Ask Tommy about the snake I turned loose in our apartment at Sam Houston.
All this chatter about gumbo strikes a nerve. We don't get much fresh seafood up north. The Luke side of our family from Louisiana made the best. I'm thinking road trip to eat (seafood) my way up or down the coast.
I remain a very positive person and strive to find good in every situation. I always look forward to tomorrow. I have been very blessed in this life for which I thank the Lord everyday!
Wow, this should probably be put on Christmas stationary and updated every year in a Christmas card!!!!!
I tag Marc Davis, Tommy Palmer, Stan Alcott, Allan Weddell and my cousin, Byron Luke.

Judy:Glenn was the best friend anyone could ask for! I'm so blessed that we were able to spend time together at the reunion four months ago. I'll always remember our days together in high school, playing football, going to the beach and just calling each other to stay in touch with how our kids were doing, the jobs,our parents and life. Please give Shane and Courtney a hug from me and know that our hearts and prayers go out to you and let me know if you need anything.Oh, how I'll miss him and his voice. Love to you and your family, Stan

Glenn was such a great guy, always so upbeat and funny. He always made me laugh. Our loss, heaven's gain. I am so glad that he was at the reunion. Great memories. God bless his family.
