"Tonight I met and listened to Long Rider Gene Glasscock. The whole time I sat in amazement that anybody, especially a senior citizen, would or could take on such a task as he. The experiences and adventures he has had held me awestruck. I told him I would quit my job, divorce my husband and abandon my kids to go with him. (JUST KIDDING!) But as an avid horseperson all my life, his life experiences on horseback are just beyond my imagination. What a great person he is. I consider it an honor to have shaken his hand. May God travel every step of the way with him, George and Frank."

"Hi Mr. Glasscock! I'm the woman that stopped you and your horses at Hartley, De. today at almost 11:30a.m. I was so excited to meet you. I am going to start a scrapbook about you and your adventures. Thank you for letting me have the opportunity to talk to you and to take pictures. You are a very wonderful man and you are my Hero. Good Bye For now, God Bless You"

"Hi Gene, our group were so appreciative of your sharing your experiences with us ( The American Mustang & Burro Assn. - Delmarva Chapter ) that at our January meeting a motion/passed to make a donation to The Philip Scholarship Fund. Needless to say we were impressed with your Christian love for the youngsters of Paraguay. In this world that seems to be centered on the concept it is truly refreshing to see someone whose goal is to give. God's speed my friend -- you are walking with God!!!"
