"Steve and I want to extend our deepest sympathy to your family. Glen was one of those people you meet in life who makes you want to do better and be kind by example.

Into Iowa to buy some beer, back into MN. A Fillmore county deputy on same back road near Lansboro driving in opposite direction went past. Wazoo, next thing we know, lights flashing behind Glenn. Booze in car, follow me to Justice of Peace in Lansboro deputy said. $25 fine for each I think was a lot of money then. Remember that Roxanne?
