Dear Beres Family, Please accept my sincerest and saddest condolences for the loss of Glen. I am still in shock hearing that he is no longer with us. Through the years, Glen and I worked together on a number of projects and issues. When I was president of Platinum Guild International, Glen and I brainstormed many articles and special editions to spread the word on Platinum. When Glen launched "Super Sellers" for National Jeweler, we spent many hours meeting about how PGI could convince the large chains and alternative sellers to consider offering platinum in addition to our efforts to reach the independent jewelers. Through the years, we would reconnect, mostly through business reasons, but invariably Glen would proudly tell me the latest news about his kids and wife. After Glen left the jewelry publications, I relied on him for freelance projects and would brainstorm ideas with him during my years with PGI and later after establishing my own marketing business. I am truly sorry and stunned to hear the news and I send Glen's family my deepest sympathy. I appreciated reading Whitney Sielaff's personal and poignant "In Memoriam" --we all met about the same time many years ago--which seems simultaneously-- like many lifetimes ago and yet just a moment ago.
