This husky Iowan was noted for his way with women. Glenn never seemed to have any trouble finding a local belle to drag. The reason, of course, lies in his likable personality, which showed itself in his ability to get along with everyone. During his years at the Academy he was a standout on the company football team and a consistent winner of the shot put event for the battalion track team. We all wish Glenn the best of luck in his aspiration to become a wearer of the coveted Navy wings of gold. }}
