Glenn's Story
Life
After graduation from O.L.L. in 1965, I started classes at Dutchess Community College until 1967, when I went on active duty with the U.S. Navy. After discharge, I went back to D.C.C. and graduated in 1974. Continued playing music throughout the military and civilian periods. Put out a couple of record albums in the late 70's. Married Kathy in 1980 and we will celebrate 25 yrs this year, 2005. We have two daughters: Bambi age 23, Holly age 18, both in college. Went back to school and graduated in 2000 from Columbia-Greene Community College for a 2nd Associates degree. Continued playing music in bands, occasionally. Steady music gig as Church organist/cantor at St.Anthony's Catholic Church in Pine Plains, NY. Currently reside in Ancram, NY in Columbia County. Member of the American Legion. Have been in the Mental Health field for over 20 yrs, currently working as a counselor at the 24 hr Helpline at Dutchess County Dept. of Mental Hygiene in Poughkeepsie, NY.

Workplace
Have worked just about every job known to mankind. Examples: Roofing and ...Expand for more
siding/construction; music store sales; music instructor; vacuum cleaner sales; Friendly Restaurant manager;
receptionist. That's just a "smattering"!! But I always kept coming back to Human Services/Mental Health: The Anderson School in Staatsburg, NY as a generalist/special projects coordinator for E.D. High School students; direct care worker with the mentally retarded at Dutchess County ARC. And 20 yrs combined in various positions with Dutchess County Dept. of Mental Hygiene in Poughkeepsie, NY as a counselor at the 24 hr Helpline. This has been, perhaps, the most rewarding.
Military
Enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve in June 1965, about 2 weeks before graduation from Our Lady of Lourdes High School. Delayed active duty entry while going to college. Entered active duty in 1967. This was a precarious period as the VietNam War was very active and escalating. Went to Navy Service school in California, training as a Communications Technician, teletype operator. That title has since been changed to Cryptographic Technician. Had some shipboard training on the USS Albert T. Harrris, destroyer escort, and the USS Charles P.Cecil, destroyer, as well as training in Pensacola, Florida. Spent the majority of my active duty at the US Naval Security Group Activity in Edzell, Scotland. Honorably discharged in 1971 at the rate/rank of CTO2 (2nd class Petty Officer -- E-5 the equivalent of sergeant). Active member of The American Legion.
