Glass -- Edward Beaumont Townsend Glass quietly left this world in his search for peace on January 17, 2003. Such a private, quiet, sensitive man, to him a collection of books, animals, music, crossword puzzles only interrupted by a bowl of lasagna meant the"world was his". His passion for postal history won him a national acclaim and he was often requested to judge national shows. His large circle of friends, scattered around the world, felt a loyalty, sensitivity and respect for Edward, truly one of a kind. Edward was born an Army brat of Col. and Mrs. E.L.N. Glass October 17, 1919 in Corsicana, TX. He was joined 12 years later by his brother, Dr. John B. Glass of Boston, MA. Ed graduated from the University of Texas in Architecture. In 1964, he was invited to the University of New Mexico as an assistant architect to architect, Van Dorn Hooker. He stayed with UNM for 20 years and felt fortunate to supervise the reconstruction of historic Hodgen Hall. A building now cherished by the alumni of UNM. Ed and his wife, Evangeline celebrated 58 years of marriage July 1, 2002. His wife, Evangeline; his brother, John; and a niece, Julie Glass survive him. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the blood bank in his honor.
