Glen served our country as a Navy man for over 20 years. He and his family were stationed all over the country (and Europe) including San Diego, CA, Memphis, TN, Patuxent River, MD, Jacksonville, Florida, Spain, and eventually Brunswick, ME.
One of Glen’s passions was his involvement in the Boy Scouts and regularly brought his Brunswick troop to Camp Hinds in Raymond. As word of his nearing retirement from the service spread to the Camp in the late 1980’s, he was offered the position of Camp Ranger for Camp Hinds as his first civilian job. He and his family lived at Camp Hinds for 10 years before purchasing a home on Main St. in Raymond. For a time, he also worked as a Raymond school bus driver. He also volunteered for Raymond Fire & Rescue and was Rescue Captain for nearly 10 years. He was also a member of the American Legion.
For 20 plus years, Glen has owned and operated Downeast Sharpening and Small Engine Repair, servicing countless locals’ small engine needs.
