Lucky Bag Yearbook
From the 1953 Lucky Bag:
GLENN CRAWFORD
A Navy junior from the sunny land of California, Glenn upheld the traditions of the family well. Coming via presidential appointment from Stanford, he brought a good football reputation with him, but plagued by injuries, he didn’t earn his “Mighty Mites” letter until second class year. Known for his love of good times and an overpowering fear of cold weather, Glenn preferred Coronado beaches to the rickety walks of Annapolis. He is still single, but wants to settle down someday on the eight acre Crawford Ranch. His choice of duty . . . none other than Navy line.
Loss
Glenn was lost when his F9F Cougar jet fighter collided with another near Tracey, California on November 10, 1955.
Other Information
He was a member of Fighter Squadron (VF) 91 at the time of his death. The other pilot survived.
Glenn was survived by his parents, RADM David Crawford, USN (Ret.), his mother, his brother Leighton and his sister Carole. He is buried in California.
