blogosphere

In Memory of Barb Glaser

>>what's your opinion?

Squeeze:
Barb Glaser, a 35 year veteren of Douglas County Correctons, the longest reigning jail employee was killed in an accident on 02/18/2013. She was a pioneer for womens correctional officers in Douglas County Jail ending as the Programs Manager. She was getting ready to retire when her own car rolled on top of her in a snowy driveway. She was and still is a model of proffesionalism in Corrections for all that follow.Our prayers and hopes go out to all in her family, including the Corrections family everywhere. I was priveledged to have worked with her for 17 years, and I am better for it. Thanks Barb, see you at the Lord’s guard mount. full thread
