I was indeed saddened to learn of Glenn's passing. We were close friends all during our college years at Ohio State University (1946-50). I remember his talents as an artist and musician, especially Glenn's love of jazz. In fact, he was an integral member of the OSU Jazz Forum that presented jam sessions in University Hall on a regular basis. Glenn will never be forgotten. He was an original.
