Description
He grew up in Pontiac, Illinois, the only child of a furniture salesman and a legal stenographer. As an elementary student impressed by his teachers, he knew he wanted to become a teacher. Along the way, other educators inspired and encouraged him. Now, after thirty-four years as a teacher, he can unequivocally say he made the right choice. At eighty years of age, after over two decades of retirement, he still misses the challenge, excitement and considerable rewards of teaching young people.
Neither of his parents attended college, but they were both determined that he would have that opportunity. In 1958, he graduated from Illinois State Normal University with a teaching degree, and in 1963 was awarded a master's degree, also from Illinois State University, the first of his family to earn either. All five of his children have attended college; his eldest is the first in their family to earn a doctorate. None of these accomplishments would have been possible without dedicated individual effort and the financial assistance of scholarships.
He wishes recipients of this Robert J. Glaser Memorial Scholarship the very best in their endeavors and charge each of them with the responsibility to enrich the lives of others.
