life in Adel where they had four children. Glenn worked at various
places including the MC Ranch, and the Lake County Road Department
before becoming a mechanic for Warner Valley, which he did for a number
of years.
In 1970 Glenn started contracting for the BLM, Forest Service,
Weyerhaeuser and other private companies doing work brush piling,
reforestation, tree planting and other types of Cat work.

He eventually returned to running the Cleland Ranch where he spent the
rest of his life.

He devoted a lot of time to maintaining the Adel TV system, was chairman
of the school board when the community hall was moved to its present
location, and helped establish the Adel Cemetery, spending several years
making improvements including the lawn.
