GLENN CRAWFORD, LTJG, USN
Glenn Crawford '53
Lucky Bag
From the 1953 Lucky Bag:
GLENN CRAWFORD
Fallbrook, California
A Navy junior from the sunny land of California, Glenn upheld the traditions of the family well. Coming via presidential appointment from Stanford, he brought a good football reputation with him, but plagued by injuries, he didn't earn his "Mighty Mites" letter until second class year. Known for his love of good times and an overpowering fear of cold weather, Glenn preferred Coronado beaches to the rickety walks of Annapolis. He is still single, but wants to settle down someday on the eight acre Crawford Ranch. His choice of duty . . . none other than Navy line.
