He was baptized June 20, 1920 and confirmed into the Lutheran faith in St. Paul Lutheran Church at Postville, Iowa. He attended schools in the Rockwell and Mason City areas and also in the Postville area.

Glen and Dorothy celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary in June of this year. Glen served in the Citizen Conservation Corps at Cresco, Iowa. Glen and Dorothy farmed in the Castalia, Postville Junction, Clermont and Gunder areas. Glen hauled canned milk for 18 years for the Carnation Plant at Castalia and the Postville Creamery. They ran the Standard Gas Station and the G and D Cafe in Castalia, the Commercial Hotel in Postville, the Laundromat in Monona, and a salvage yard in Gunder, where they made their home until moving to Postville in 1996.
