My parents and Glen's parents very very close so I grew up with Glen and his sister Vonda. He was always playing a steel guitar and singing. He was taller than me and quieter, almost. like introverted. We lost touch after high school, but I have never forgotten him. I talked to Vonda and Donna and theu both said he had had a good life.. A huge shoot out to Biily Brown who was also a friend of Glen's. and, as usual, did a great job on his memorial. Another one gone!
