I know that coordinating the project and actual installation required much time and effort on your part. Dedication such as yours is what guarantees the meeting is a success." -from the Home Secretary, NAS, 5/21/95 "I understand that it is review time for the technical analysts. Although I have been with OSEP for 2 months as the Admin. Officer, I have worked quite a bit with Glenn during that time and wanted to offer my assessment of Glenn's performance, brief as it may be. In addition to his regular duties as technical analyst, he also leads the monthly PC Contact meeting we have in OSEP. He is very organized and on top of things and always prepared for those meetings. I have found Glenn to be very responsive to all of OSEP, as well as to me as the Admin. Officer. He has been a big help to me as the new kid on the block in becoming familiar with the technical aspect of OSEP. Lastly, he is very highly thought of throughout all of OSEP." -from Admin. Officer, 3/15/95 "Glenn was always cheerful, patient and flexible as we slowly entered the PC world, keeping our unit heads advised of institutional policies, and helping to develop our resources. All standard hardware and software problems were taken care of quickly. We know that Glenn came early and stayed late when trying to work out some of these problems. Glenn's expertise was such that we seldom had to use the hotline, his explanations of why things didn't work were given in a manner that taught new skills without making staff feel "dumb." This has kept the enthusiasm to learn high." - from OSEP Fiscal Officer, 8/2/90 "Glenn has been a delight and, however pleased I am to see him promoted, I am sorry to see him leave us. He is knowledgeable, helpful, a good teacher, a patient troubleshooter, expert in his work, and eager to make things work right. Glenn's personality was perfect for our circumstances. He was careful to peg his comments to the level of computer knowledge of each of us." -from Division Head within CLS, NAS, 8/1/90
