Glen did more for bowhunting than we can probably imagine.  He was there at the right place at the right time and he did what it took.

We who march behind him need to remember the work and the effort he made and to not let it be forgotten.

Next time you are sitting in your stand, take a moment to remember that in part, you have that ability because of Glen and a few others like him.

Rest in Peace, Glenn.

Sometimes it seems that all that matters most are all the things that you can't keep

Great man and one of my archery heros.  Billets to Bows was one of the first books I ever read about bow building.  I met him when I was about 25...not really knowing who he was, but picked up an autographed copy of "Billets" and "Bows on the Little Delta".  Wow!  He had a huge impact on myself and the rest of the archery world.  His storys were awe inspiring and will not be forgoten.  I am truly greatful to have met such a great man....Thank you Glen

When I first got started in Traditional archery. I made a trip to his museum. Glenn was having a snooze, but his family were kind to me and walked me through the museum , and then I was able to view all of it myself. I know that traditional archery has changed my life...and the way I think about life. Thanks to Glenn we enjoy traditional archery hunting...Not onlt was he a strong advocate for achery hunting ....I believe he designed the modern day recurve that we most shoot in 1952..... a great man and a great family...god bless

I need to reread his book tonight. He did so much for archery.

Back when I first saw this thread, yesterday, I made a post of similar expression of caring as all our other members. however in reading the thread over today, I don't find it  - so i am sure that (once again) after i finished typing I hit the "X" to close (from force of habit) rather than the "Add Reply" button - DUH!

Just wanted to now add my feelings of compassion for the family and many friends and admirers of the late, great personage and archery supporter, Glenn St. Charles. May he walk the golden fields  and forests of pleasurable, unhurried stump-shooting with all his old friends of archery who went before him.

I've spoken to Glenn on the phone several times but I never met him in person. I am truly saddened by this news.  What an inspiration he was to the archery world and to mankind.  Prayers sent to his family from Louisiana.

Words are inadequate to express the sense of loss I feel, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. Mr. St. Charles was someone I both envied and admired without limits. Sincere best wishes and prayers for the family.   Grant Young

I'm posting this pic and message for my Dad, Grizz...

 

Here's a moment I shared with Glen at Packwood this spring at the WSTR.  I was lucky enough to visit with him a few minutes and I recorded the conversation on paper.  Glen you will be missed.  Happy Hunting, Grizz
