Glenn Cooke has been professionally engaged in city planning and economic development activities for almost 35 years. He has directed regional planning agencies in the Binghamton and Rochester areas and has administered several Industrial Development Agencies in New York State. He is currently engaged in a number of development projects in the Finger Lakes Region including civilian reuse of the 11,000 acre Seneca Army Depot.

Glenn is a graduate of Alfred University and holds a master’s degree in Community Planning and Area Development from the University of Rhode Island. He is married to the former Luisa Giuliano who is employed in the Finance Division at Eastman Kodak Company. They live in Victor, New York with their Maine Coon Cat “Reggie.” Luisa and Glenn are avid sailors and skiers.

2010 Update:   There have not been many changes in my life since our 40th reunion. Same wife (Luisa's a sweetheart), same house, same cat. However, Luisa and I have both changed jobs. She now works in finance for Carestream Health which acquired her former division at Kodak and I'm engaged in community planning and economic revitalization for a local development corporation in suburban Rochester. We're starting to wind down our careers and I'm already on a 4-day week. We are definitely realigning priorities and focusing on quality of life rather than professional goals.

As a couple, we crew a large sailboat on Lake Ontario, we downhill ski as much as we can, we bike the many trails in Victor and the Finger Lakes, and we are avid travelers. I have a trip planned for Russia in August with a buddy who shares my passion for World War II history. Luisa and I are heading to British Columbia in early September to see family and then tour the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. I have recently taken up kayaking and Luisa is into yoga. While we never got around to having children, we have great relationships with our nieces and nephews and we frequently visit with them in Rochester, Manhattan, and Los Angeles.

I sincerely hope that all is well with my Roy-Hart classmates and I look forward to seeing all of you in September at the reunion!!
