Glen served his country during World War II as a soldier in the
U.S. Army.
During his working career, he was employed as a parts manager in the commercial transportation industry. Later, he was very interested in
growing plants, flowers, and those things having to do with horticulture ... so much so that he went into that business and had a nursery of his own.
