Wow! What an honor!” was an Oregon man’s reaction last week to having his former work place renamed for him.
“My life has been enriched in a special way being around the disabled,” Bob Glaser told the large crowd that gathered Aug. 28 at an open house to honor him and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Village of Progress.
Current VOP Executive Director Brion Brooks announced that the main building, off Pines Road in Oregon, will be renamed.
“In honor of Bob Glaser’s tireless work in creating and shaping the Village, the board of directors voted to rename our Day Services Center the Bob Glaser Training Center,” he said. “Thank you, Bob, for what you’ve done and for what you mean to so many people in this area.”
