Glenn had been the leader of the Parkersburg Chess Club for the past several years. I (Ben Good) played Glenn once, in the 1st Eastern Electric Open in 2001. I managed to win the game, but Glenn had me on the ropes very early on.
Here are the games we have in the database for Glenn:Glenn's Games in the WVCA Database
May he rest in peace.
