Glenn Thaxton (computer whiz, humorist, retired lay about)
Glenn is a retired Information Systems Executive / Software Engineer who recently turned Webmaster for this site. After retirement, Glenn decided to do something outside his comfort zone. Resisting the urge to take up sky diving or dance, he signed up for a writing class. Writing was the subject he feared most while in school. Further, writing in a classroom setting summoned as much adrenalin as the other two competing ideas without taxing his Medicare. While taking a class with Cap'n Lee, Glenn met many interesting people and learned that writing could be fun.
