   Glen Frederick, son of Fred and Florence (Sander) Jensen, was born December 5, 1921, at Manning, Iowa. Glen attended Manning Schools, graduating with the Class of 1939.  After graduation Glen worked several years before entering the United States Army Air Corps in 1942, serving during World War II. He was a B-29 pilot in the Pacific Theater attaining the rank of First Lieutenant. Following his honorable discharge in 1945, Glen returned to Manning and managed the airport for a time and operated a flying service.

   On August 17, 1946, Glen was united in marriage with Lenora Jensen at Denison. They made their home in Manning and were the parents of two children. After his flying service, Glen operated the D-X bulk plant and the parts department at Manning Motor. Then, after acting as manager of Manning elevator for three years, he launched the J & S Feed Service with his brother-in-law Gerald Schroeder in 1955. He continued in that business, eventually becoming sole owner. Glen retired when he sold his farm service business.

   Glen was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars and several other community organizations over the years. He also served on the City Council. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing and golfing with his friends.

   For a number of years Glen suffered several health problems and in 2002 became a resident of the Manning Plaza Nursing Home. He died at the Manning Hospital on Tuesday, February 5, 2008, at the age of 86 years and 2 months.

   Preceding Glen in death are his parents; three sisters: Arlene and  husband Hank Sinow; Donna Hansen; and Ellen Rasmussen; and brother-in-law Gerald Schroeder.
