About Me	Glade grew up on a wheat farm near Wichita, Kansas. During college at Kansas State University he went to live with families in Italy for six months with the International Farm Youth Exchange. After graduating from KSU he had his draft delayed to represent US youth on a six week trip to India. After being drafted he graduated from the Infantry Officer Candidate School on February 1, 1968 the first day of the Tet offensive in Viet Nam. His luck held in that the Army commissioned him in the Intelligence branch, sent him to Airborne and intelligence schools, and assigned him to Munich, Germany where he commanded the US Army Europe Interrogation Center. Glade then volunteered for two tours in Viet Nam, serving as a Phoenix Advisor in the Highlands and commanding an intelligence collection unit in Saigon. He later served as Deputy Commander for Operations for the counterintelligence unit in West Berlin in 1974 and 1975, the height of the Cold War. Glade’s final assignment on active duty was teaching ROTC at Kansas State University where he met and married Faye Ann Price who was on the faculty there at the time. Upon leaving the service Glade got his MS degree from KSU and came to OSU to pursue his doctorate. Upon completion of that degree he served for ten years as the Coordinator of International Program Development. He was involved in many international projects such as the establishment of OSU’s branch campus in Japan and teacher training, education, and research projects in Thailand, Jordan, Colombia, Malaysia, Ethiopia and others. In 1993 Glade moved to become the Senior Project Manager at the Institute for Telecommunications at OSU. There he was deeply involved with the project to provide satellite based video training to the Us Army both domestically and internationally, established educational telecommunications for universities in Colombia and Hong Kong, and provided training to teach at a distance to the US Coast Guard among other projects. One of the most satisfying projects was a proposal he wrote and got funded in the mid-1990’s for $3 million to install community internet sites in small towns in Oklahoma.
