            From Gil Alford:

      In September 1983 I wrote Glenn, he responded immediately, and that began a 19 year period of close friendship. We wrote often, he provided vast amounts of information, and he called on the phone frequently. On more than one occasion we met in Pike Co., MS where we explored cemeteries and the surroundings, and on one occasion we visited Glenn and Elizabeth at their home in Covington.

       Glenn attended the AAFA meetings in Jackson, MS, and St. Francisville, LA, and both times he made sure his cousin Claude Anding Alford, AAFA #0017, got there too.... Glenn was a close and dear friend and I’ll really miss him.
