A Heart-felt
"Thank You" To My Past Employers,
Friends and Peers Located in Los Angeles, Ca. |
| I've learned much of what I
know today from my past employers, friends and peers during my 25 year
stay in the Los Angeles area. I'd like to take this
opportunity to thank them for their kindness, friendship and support. |
| To Carol and Ivan Dryer and
all my dear friends at
Laserium
There
is nothing that has meant more to me than the 25 incredible
years I spent working with you all. Ivan, you are the
strongest, most visionary person I've met in my life. I'm sure
that your vision of the Laserium Pyradome was way ahead of its
time and will surely be fulfilled sometime in the future.
You've faced and conquered challenges that would have caused
nine out of ten men to fall. The love and caring you've given
to Carol and all of your employees through good times and bad
is beyond measure. Of all my previous employers, you are the
only one that sends me a Christmas card every year. It means
the world to me. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to
perform Laserium shows for you for 25 years. I consider myself
the luckiest person in the world to have had that opportunity.
Best regards, Glenn |
| To Jay Blank of
Northrop Electronics
Jay, I can't thank you enough for
hiring me as an Integrated Logistics Support Specialist for
the Human Factors Department of Northrop Electronics. Of all
the jobs I've held in my life, I never felt more "at home"
than working side by side with our country's greatest
engineers on a daily basis. It was wonderful to work in an
environment where all our time was spent communicating,
designing and building rather than bickering, gossiping and
complaining, which is common in most workplaces. Thank you for
your friendship, guidance and support. I'll always cherish the
time we spent together. Give our love to Francis.
Your friend always, Glenn |
| To Rick Jurasky, owner of
R-Squared, Santa Monica, Ca.
Rick, the year I spent working for
you was one of the most exciting times of my life. You exposed
me to the truly amazing world of High-end audio / video
installation. I can't tell you how much fun I had working with
your lead tech Jeff in the homes of millionaires on a weekly
basis. As tough as it was on us all, building the dedicated
home theater at
Greensleeves, Barbados
was an
experience I'll never forget. You and Jeff taught me much of
what I know today about high-end design, installation,
programming and customer service. You gave me a vision of the
future I hoped to build for myself. Here, in St. George, Utah,
that vision is becoming a reality. My best, always, to you,
Jeff and everyone else at R-Squared.
With Great Respect, Glenn

| To Lyn Perry, President, Mike
McMaster, CEO, Steve Honig, Sales Manager and Brian Righetti,
Custom Installation Manager and all my friends at
Wilshire Home Entertainment,
Thousand Oaks, Ca.
Lyn
and Mike, thank you for inviting me to work for you as a
Project Coordinator for Wilshire Home Entertainment. I had an
absolutely wonderful time there and I must say "There was
never a dull moment!" Running two installation crews, six days
a week, 52 weeks a year was very hard but exciting work. I
loved it. I'll always remember, with a fond heart and aching
head, the all night Birthday Party you gave me at Cedia in
Indianapolis.
Steve, you have the most
amazing "positive attitude" I've ever seen. You have the
uncanny ability to turn ANY difficult situation into a
positive one. You're brilliant with people, an expert
businessman, a wonderful friend and a great drummer! I can't
tell you how much I miss you.
Brian, what can I say? You and
I had the most successful working relationship I think anyone
could wish for. We spent 3 years, side by side, in the same
office and never once had an argument or blowout with each
other. I respected you and you respected me. We enjoyed good
times and worked through many bad times, side by side. We
learned a lot from each other. We grew stronger together.
Today and always, I will have the deepest respect for you and
wish you, Alicia and your children the very best.
Johnny, Phil, Mark C., Mark E.,
Tim, Art, Patrick, Mark , Karen, Cynthia, Robert, Justin, Joe,
Allen, Brian ... Thank you ALL for a wonderful 3 years!
Best regards, Glenn
P.S. If you're traveling through St. George, be sure to stop

| To my dear friend,
Ronnie Turso
Ronnie, I love you. You are my
dearest friend. You are THE REASON I moved to
California and began 25 years of wonderful experiences. I was
fresh out of high school, a year into college when I met you.
In the many years I played in your band, T. R. William and
Flint, you taught me a great deal about life. You helped me to
"grow up." You introduced me to the Army National Guard where
I learned "I can do anything" in basic and advanced military
training. You have thrilled me, my family and hundreds of
thousands of people with your incredible music. You've given
the world a great gift with your heart, soul and voice. I wish
I lived close to you today so I could come and see you perform
on a regular basis. Thanks for all you've taught me. Thanks
for all you've given me. Thanks for always being there for me.
Give my best to Val, Sandy, Shaun and Jean.
Love you, Glenn |
| To Dr. Krupp, Ken Warren, Nick Read, Steve
Cooperman, Julie Silverman, Jon Hodge, Roger Keen, Jim
Summers, Kirk Palmer, Earl Vander Wall of
Griffith Observatory, Los Angeles, Ca.
I want to thank all my friends at Griffith
Observatory, past and present, for allowing me the pleasure of
performing Laserium Shows in your wonderful dome for 25 years.
As I've said many times before, performing Laserium at
Griffith for all those years was a blessing from Heaven.
Working with all of you was a great pleasure. Thank you for
the kindness and respect you showed me over such a long period
of time. Leaving the observatory, alone, after the shows was a
surreal experience. Every night was the same. I closed the
front door behind me. Someone in your staff turned off the
parking lot lights. I walked very slowly across the front
lawn, enjoying the dampness, the fog on many occasions, the
incredible stillness of the air, the silence from the huge
city below and, when it was clear, I looked up at the
beautiful stars above and thanked God for giving me the honor
and pleasure of working at the most famous and beautiful place
in Los Angeles and perhaps, on Earth. I cherished every night
at Griffith, knowing that some day Laserium would close and I
would never again experience this wonderful gift. My heart
aches for no longer being there with you.
Enjoy every minute you have. Respectfully
yours, Glenn |
My list of Los Angeles "Thank You"
notes is FAR from complete. There are hundreds of past clients
and business persons I'd like to thank. I would probably have
to write a small book to thank you all. Suffice it to say, if
I had a business or personal relationship with you in any way,
I'd like to express my deepest appreciation for your support
and friendship.
Leaving you all to move to Utah was a HUGE change of life; a
much more traumatic experience than I ever imagined. I feel as
if I've died and been re-born to start a new life here but I
still have a strong memory of my past life. Moving to Utah has
brought me much happiness in my business and personal life but
much sadness in missing all of you.
Cheers, no worries, good health and happy days until I see you
again.
