I'll sure miss seeing Glen at Vogue! He was "my guy" for many years picking out glasses. I loved his round glasses and his pleasant manner.... he always made me smile.
Sorry to miss Glenn's service on Monday- I'd come in a heart beat, but I'm out of town that day.
My Sympathy to the family and friends.
