The Glick Family Parents

Karen and Dan are the parents of this busy brood. Karen is a tennis addict. She plays on a host of teams, is currently a 3.5 rated player (whatever that means) and takes great pride in severely beating her husband when he has the audacity to play her. She's taken up running and strength training, mostly to improve her tennis game. She does "boot camps" with various trainers at Healthtrax and is probably in the best shape of her entire life. She's running a Halloween road race this coming Saturday. In addition to her job and family, she's also in the process of overseeing the rehab of a broken down , foreclosure house in Springfield that we purchased at auction. It needs new everything. Once done, we hope to rent it out to several families. Karen is also very focused on our upcoming trip to Greece. Karen recently turned 40 and so she and I are taking a cruise from Venice to Greece to Croatia and then back to Venice. We will be leaving the children with Karen's parents who live in Longmeadow also - just a few miles away.

Dan is a runner, skier, golfer, swimmer, etc. I run 10K races mostly and have run the Holyoke Saint Patrick's Road Race for 16 years in a row. It has lots of hills and is the most difficult course I run. With the recent run-up in gas prices, I've taken to riding a bike to work several times a week - it's good exercise and quite cost effective. My wife and I are both active in the First Church of Longmeadow. I'm on the Board of Children's Ministries which mostly means that I teach the occasional Sunday School class.

Together, we have a very successful marriage based on non-stop activity, piles of laundry and lots of help from friends and family. We love our home in New England. Longmeadow is a small town that is great to raise all these children. There are tree lined sidewalks everywhere - all the children ride bikes to school every day that weather permits.
