Glazer's Family Drops Lawsuit Against Commission

Staff -- Library Journal, 1/19/1998

The family of former State Library Commissioner Fred Glazer, who died late last year, has directed its lawyer to drop Glazer's lawsuit against the West Virginia Library Commission and others. Glazer, who had been longtime director of the commission, sued the commission's board of directors after he was dismissed from his job without a full explanation why. "As counsel to our deceased client and friend, we today filed a motion to dismiss voluntarily the suit," said the family's lawyer, Tom Potter. "In our view, many of the claims clearly survive Mr. Glazer's untimely death," he said. "However, we are filing this motion at the direction of the Glazer family members, who no longer wish to pursue the action. Nothing can bring him back, and to pursue the action against those who were determined for still yet unknown reasons to destroy him, will provide no solace to the family," he said.
