REMEMBERING GLENN M. SUNDBY - FOUNDER

[Glenn M. Sundby and Frank Bare at the German Turnfest in Essen Germany (1963)]


For almost 50 years, Glenn and I not only worked together, we traveled the globe attending Olympic Games, World Championships and many other events of note. In 1964 we travelled to Tokyo for the Olympic Games in Japan and in 1968 to Mexico City, 1972 to Munich, 1976 to Montreal and in 1980 to Moscow. We always enjoyed seeing local features and meeting as many people as possible. We very often roomed together, just as we did in Oceanside when I would travel there to help him with specific projects, at his request.

Most people will remember Glenn as a hardworking, dedicated individual who lived a Christian life filled with generosity and caring. He lived a colorful creative life, filled with many smiles, and had friends in all part of the world, many of whom will miss him as we will.

Knowing him as I did, the one thing I will miss most is his smile and those of us who knew him, knew how much he enjoyed having his picture taken, or taking pictures of others. We all will remember his wide smile, which made the room light up wherever he was present. He was a people person, a visionary with great ideas and big dreams. It was my privilege to help him make some of these dreams become reality.
