I found Glenn! A mutual friend from Australia (formerly from Ohio) found an address and phone number in his online search for Glenn Ackerman. I called the number and left a message. Glenn returned the call. It was absolutely GREAT talking with him after 39 years! He has the skateboard film. He is in Westerville; I am in New York. Hopefully, we will be able to get together before too much time passes. JAngel

Bummer that you haven’t talked to him in 13 years. I did try the Alumni Association, Department of Photography and the OSU archives for the documentary but came up with nothing. I’ll try the Alumni Association for Glenn as an alumnus. Thanks for the suggestion. I have tried phone listings in Westerville and Columbus but nothing. When I did a name search, I saw a Scott and Jennifer listed as relatives, but no phone numbers. I’ll also check with the city offices or post office in Westerville.

To bprince,
It’s uncanny that the same day I was seeking to locate Glenn Ackerman, the owner of the now closed Raintree Cinema, you posted (7/16). I was directed to this Cinema Treasures site and read what you had to say of the theater. Do you know Glenn Ackerman or know of him and how I can locate him? I was one of the “actors” in a skateboard documentary Glenn made while he was a student at Ohio State. Portions of the documentary were aired on WOSU-TV in the late 60’s or early 70’s. I’m working with some of the staff there to locate Glenn as well. Glenn knows me by my maiden name “Angel”. Do hope you or anyone is able to help!
