Glen served in the U.S. 6th Army as a Corporal from 1946 until February 1948. Glen and wife Betty June Drennan were married on October 17, 1953 in Sonora, Texas. They moved to Austin in 1957.

Mr. Hayden soon went to work for the City of Austin and served many years as an inspector. Glen started his construction company, Hayden Concrete, in 1970, and the company has been in continuous operation ever since.

Glen was a World Champion bass fisherman and avid outdoorsman. He was referred to as "Horseshoe Hayden" by many, due to his uncanny ability to catch fish when no one else could. He also enjoyed hunting and golfing with his many lifelong friends and family. According to ASGA President, L. E.
