  • It is with sadness that we share the passing of Dr. George P. Glenn. Dr. Glenn was an avid Lightning sailor who taught both his son Gidge and John Parker how to crew on his Lightning "Peaches" which was named for his third crew, his wife Lillian. After racing many years with Fleet #99, Dr. Glenn along with three other Lightning sailors decided to create a new Lightning Fleet (#430) at the Ocean City Yacht Club in the late 60's. He helped to create one of the strongest Lightning fleets in the South Jersey area. Dr. Glenn will be missed by his many friends and especially by his two sons Gidge and Jimmy Glenn.
