Glen was our club caller and a good friend. He helped me get started in calling square dances.

We knew the Geers though our belonging to the Michigan Square Dance Leaders Association. They were such nice people. We enjoyed having them in MSDLA.
It is our hope that your memories of happy events with them will soften the pain of missing them.
