I truly appreciated reading ALL of your comments about Glenn... I was Class of '67, but quite aware of his amazing musicianship & loved hearing about his Grad night times : >)
May Glenn M.Scott Rest in Eternal Peace. I am one SPHS musician who will not forget his talent !!!
Glenn was my campaign manager when I ran for Commissioner of Publicity in the spring of 1968- his senior year, my junior. Since my last name was Clark, I ran with a “Clark Bar” campaign, handing out Clark candy bars, and using the Clark Bar logo on my campaign posters. I can still see Glenn, loping down the corridor behind the auditorium, with his long legged gait, throwing candy bars and shouting “Vote for Claaaaah-k!” in his South African accent. He’s not forgotten!

George, Glenn died of a heart attack. He thoroughly enjoyed life and it caught up with him at a young age.
