"All, I am sadden to learn of the death of your father. I have so many fond memories of Glen as I was growing up, that it is hard to pick one to mention. I specifically recall that Studebaker that he owned, with the pointed nose. I had never seen a car like that. My prayers and thoughts are with you in this time of sadness. Love always, Chris Aamot"
