I think Gleb still lives in Durango Colorado.

He and his wife, for a long time, ran a jewlery store there, and for a
while Gleb was active in their soaring club, giving instruction.

To add to his online RAS resume, Gleb was also a top fashion
photographer in NYC, his ex-wife Ruth, a fashion model. And for those
who remember, was the guy who shot the Alka Seltzer "On the Rocks"
commercial.

one of my great pleasures in gliding was to fly in the 3rd Standard Nationals at Marfa in 1972. I was flying the only metal glider a 1-34, actually had pilots laugh at me for doing that. On one day as we were leaving the Marfa area on task Gleb dumped his water on me in a weak thermal. I continued on and eventually beat him home, he was flying a Standard Cirrus I believe. I finished 38 of 62 beating 23 glass ships. Gleb was truly a "character" and I will always remember his larger than life persona.
