She had been diagnosed with cancer back in 2010 and I hadn&#8217;t seen her since then. <\/p>\n<p>The service was held at the Glass&#8217;s church St. Paul&#8217;s Episcopal. Gary greeted the folks congregating for the ceremony and it was well attended. I&#8217;ve only seen Gary a couple times since the fight for a vote ended. According to an account of her life that Fayth composed for the service Gary had been attending to her closely in her final years. <\/p>\n<p>Before I left had the chance to see some old compatriots. I even helped push former Representative Mike Jaros&#8217;s car out of a snowbank as I left St. Pauls.<\/p>\n<p>As in my church the St. Paul&#8217;s congregation was split between partisans for and against the Red Plan. Among them was Tom Hustad a pro Red School Board member.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;d written a letter with Ann Wasson to the editor arguing that I was a dubious choice for the Board. It hadn&#8217;t turned the tide. After the service he stopped by to talk to me as a peace keeping gesture. <\/p>\n<p>We had a pleasant conversation and Tom wanted to offer me his congratulations and thank me for supporting the levy referendums. He also spoke up for our new superintendent a little concerned, perhaps, because he helped usher out my superintendent, Julio Almanza. I reassured Tom that I&#8217;d met with the new super and we seemed to be getting along just fine &#8211; ditto the finance director. <\/p>\n<p>I also told him that although he&#8217;d won the argument over the Red Plan I was pretty optimistic we would use the new levies to turn the District around. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend I attended the funeral services for Gary Glass&#8217;s wife and faithful supporter Fayth Glass.
