Janet - We are so sorry to hear about Glenn's passing. He was certainly an upstanding individual and an asset to all who knew him - a life cut too short. Sorry we will not be in the shoreline on Sunday. Fran says he will always remember Glenn's good advice on securing Masters Practice Round tickets.
Hugs, the duggans

Janet, Dana, Dawn.. I was so sorry to hear about Glenn's passing. He was a good friend, a great golf partner and an outstanding business associate. I cherish the time I had to spend with him and will miss him dearly. Prior business travel will prevent me form attend Sunday, Suzanne will be there. Please accept my sincere condolances.
