Glenn EUenberger who will retire July 15 after serving 29 years as Lehigh County agricultural agent. EUenberger has long established himself as a partner in the agricultural community, but his efforts in bridging the gap between rural and urban people has gamed him enormous popularity in many sectors of the community. The feeling of warmth and friendship was mutual. “I wish I could tell you by getting into a B-17 and writing I love you in the sky,” EUenberger said. (He was a captain in the Army feir Corps during World War II.) EUenberger ,s only the second agent to serve in the county succeeding the late A 1 Hacker who held the post from 1916 to 1951. Prior to taking the Lehigh position, EUenberger was an assistant agent in Somerset County for five years.
