Glenn Chambers (Photo courtesy of MDC)
Glenn Chambers lost his battle with cancer on Sunday, July 30. For those of you who knew Glenn, you are aware no words can put this amazing man into perspective. Always a source of positive energy and a friend to all, Glenn was simply put, a very special man.
He was a past-president of CFM and remained on our board of directors and executive committee. Glenn was very generous to our Federation with donations of his skills as an artist, especially with his annual notecards, prints, bronze sculptures and other gifts of his creative genius.
