Glen Wash Comes A Visitin'

After Gladys had graduated from high school in Broadus she and her girlfriend,
Florabell Harkins decided that they wanted to be teachers. Florabell
thought it would be best to go to Normal School in North Dakota
to get teachers training so she talked Gladys into it.
The standards were lower in North Dakota and they figured
it would be easier to get their credentials there.
Gladys borrowed the money for school and the trip and was about to
set off for North Dakota when she found out from Florabell
that she was engaged and getting married to Johnny Edwards.
So Gladys went on her own to North Dakota.

Gladys said that Johnny died young and then Florabell married Glen's
dad, Pod Wash. They had three boys, Glen, Nick and Warren.

Glen is Florabell's son and lives in Broadus with his wife Diane.
They are in the trucking business and haul bees. Glen used to have the
place down the way from Gladys and Dick that has the big white house on it and
a beautiful old big barn.
