In 1966, after working as a high school teacher for three years, Glen and another high school teacher set out to see the world. Not the well worn tourist track, but a hitchhiking adventure to 54 countries, lasting three years.
Aboard ship, coming home, she met her future husband, Duncan. Later returning to Zimbabwe, Africa, where they married, he continued cotton farming, and their two oldest children were born.
Aboard ship, coming home, she met her future husband, Duncan. Later returning to Zimbabwe, Africa, where they married, he continued cotton farming, and their two oldest children were born.
Foreseeing a politically unstable future, they immigrated to the Outback of Australia, where undeveloped land was cheap, and pioneered cotton growing in that isolated and inhospitable region. They survived floods, drought, wild pigs, primitive living conditions, and desert temperatures. Their two younger children were born there.
Later they started a church and school in the small Outback town of Bourke. When these were established, Duncan felt they should relocate, with their four children, to New York City to start a church and school. Selling their home and most of their possessions, they moved to New York to adapt to apartment living, learning to be street wise, and driving on the other side of the road. All previous unknowns!
The church was located in a downtown area of Yonkers, where anything and everything happened on the street. Duncan started a family business, which enabled the children to pay their way through college and develop a strong work ethic. They experienced the agony of 9/11 in a fear gripped city.
When the four children were established in careers, Glen and Duncan did a transcontinental move to California, where they started a church, built a home, and are at present helping needy families.
