On January 12th we celebrated the last of the state park retirements. Celebrated is a very bad word - Glenn Moorer will be sadly missed. What we celebrated was his career.
His career started with a part time position doing roofing work on the building we met in - Ferrell Hall, part of the Hemlock Haven Conference Center at Hungry Mother State Park. From there he became a regular wage employee and ultimately a full time Park Ranger. His full time career exceeded 35 years. The last nearly 8 years he served as Chief Ranger.
Family, friends, co-workers and members of the community were on hand for the event and shared Glenn stories. Glenn said it the best - his career in State Parks was "a lifetime of friends and a lifetime of memories."
Glenn has a home in Marion so I don't think this will be the last we see of him!
