Remembering a good friend.
I was on the YRBM-16 with Glen. We both were SK3's. I was on watch the night he drowned, and still feel bad that I couldn't do anything the help. Glen was a good friend and shipmate. I will always have a special place in my heart for him.

THE COUSIN I NEVER KNEW
I was 14 years old when my Grandmother Mellinger Hoover called her son, my father Harold, to give him the news. Grandmas sister, Melvia Mellinger, married Perry Howard who would have been Glens grandfather. His father was Fred.
That's a long winded explanation of the descrepincy in the name I hurriedly jotted down on the closest piece of paper I could find on the kitchen table. Grandma still had a party phone line , so for her to call us was a really big deal.
I never knew my cousin Glen. I was shocked when doing genealogical research that this site turned up on a google search of Glen Eugene Howard. At first I was ecstatic to have pictures of Glen. And reading the messages from people who served with him and relatives who miss him and the life he never lived.
Then I remembered my note on his death....
Four years after Glens death I enlisted in the Marine Corps, like my father had before me. While I'm a Viet-Nam Era Veteran, I was never in country.
Maybe one day I'll be able to visit the wall and 'touch' Glen....
