FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Summer days were brutally long for a teenaged Aaron Glenn and his four brothers. The alarm clock sounded at 4 a.m., and they were on the job by 4:30, working at least 12-hour days for their father, Amos, in the heat and humidity of Houston.
Amos Cleo Glenn -- A.C. to those close to him -- was a well-known subcontractor in the area. If there were trees that needed to be cut down or a field that had to be cleared, Amos was your man. He owned heavy machinery and spearheaded a workforce that increased once school was out for the summer.
