    Glen always regretted that he was not allowed to serve in the military during WWII. I don't remember what kept him from serving. His health never stopped him from doing anything else he wanted to do.

    From 1962 until 1964, Glen had a route where he picked up milk from the farmers and took it to the dairy each morning. In the afternoon, he and his brother Earnie built houses. In 1964, Glen went to work in Maintenance at the University of Arkansas until his retirement in 1981.

In 1919, in the year that Glen D Townzen was born, in the summer and early autumn, race riots erupted in 26 U.S. cities, resulting in hundreds of deaths and even more people being badly hurt. In most cases, African-Americans were the victims. It was called the "Red Summer". Men who were returning from World War I needed jobs and there was competition for those jobs among the races. Tension was heightened by the use by many companies of blacks as strikebreakers.
Did you know?
In 1928, at the age of only 9 years old, Glen was alive when aviatrix Amelia Earhart, age 31, became the first woman to fly solo across North America and back in August. In June, she had been part of a 3 man crew that flew the Atlantic Ocean but since she had no instrument training, she couldn't fly the plane - she kept the flight log. The North American flight became one of her many "firsts" as a female pilot.
