Robin and Jim, thinking of you and sending prayers.
I was so sorry to hear about Glenn’s passing. My condolences and prayers for Glenn’s family. I have known Glenn for a very long time, and I was so glad to get to talk to him a few years back at one of the all-school reunions. We knew each other from grade school. I will never forget the duo of Glenn Albin and Jimmy Tormeno. Not sure that is the correct spelling, but they were quite the pair in grade school. Their antics in St. Ann’s were somewhat legendary. I always liked them both, even if they did pull my hair.
