My thoughts and prayers for Mr. Harbaugh's family. Though we never met in person, BashDad was a well known figure on the Division3 football post patterns. He had a great sense of humor and we will all miss him.

Glenn and I were high school class mates. Not only was Glenn good in dramatics, he was one of the, pound-for-pound, toughest football players I ever played with. So sorry that he has left us at such a young age. Bob Weis 26 Jun 2006
