The stars just got a little brighter! Mr. Griffin made going to science class fun (even in early September with no A/C).
My thoughts and preys are with the Griffin family.
R.I.P. Mr. G.
Met Glenn in 1971 through his brother John Griffin. Instant friendship with Glenn, a very intelligent and quiet man whom I enjoyed talking with and learning from. My prayers for his family
Glenn was a great amateur radio operator...and friend. We shared a lot of great experiences and talked to many of the same foreign countries and collected many cards from these contacts.
He helped me understand many of the electrical rules that support our hobby.
He was patient...... he will be missed!
73's
