Hank Glamann, 64, was a giant among copy editors
July 9, 2018 - By David Sullivan
The first thing you noticed - you HAD to notice - was the voice. It
was deep and resonant - perhaps the only way to describe it is
"full," like the narrator in those early NFL Films productions, or
Orson Welles. With just a hint of a twang, it was unmistakable.
Next, you noticed how it fit the man it belonged to. He was tall and
broad-shouldered, overall a physical presence. When Hank Glamann was
around, you knew it and thought, maybe everything is bigger in Texas, just
like they say.
But what made Hank a real giant was his effect on editing. Wanting more
training and respect for copy editors in the newsroom, Hank was among the
first to respond to the call coming from the American Society of Newspaper
Editors following its study decrying their neglect. As the late Steve
Buttry, longtime newspaper editor and consultant, wrote of Hank and Pam
Robinson: "They decided to stop lamenting the lack of respect for copy
editors and form a group to train and advocate for copy editors."
