MONROE - Jim Glessner hardly looks like the 80 years he'll soon celebrate, but he's certainly done enough in his lifetime to prove that number. He stays young by still doing what he's always loved - being a part of local service organizations, writing, editing and delving into parts of his historic past. Glessner was born in Sterling, Illinois, and grew up in Tampico.
