Glenn Aho was the president of the Spearfish Lake Schools board in 2004. In pushing the appointment of Earl Gingrich as superintendent "He pulled every damn string he could think of, called in every favor he had".^SU20

He was a school contemporary of George Battle and Anissa Hodges. Anisa said "I don’t want to call Glenn the school bully but he thought he was some kind of bad-ass, and he enjoyed making a pest of himself, especially to George. I don’t know what started it in the first place, but there was a whole series of fights that lasted over several years, and usually George came out on the short end of them. About the only place George ever managed to get back at Glenn was during scrimmages on the football field."^SU20

He explained to Susan Langenderfer-McMahon that Gingrich was "A long-time friend, clear back to college days. ... When you have a good and loyal friend, you have to stand up for them sometimes when you don’t want to; ... but when a friend is in trouble it’s the natural thing to do to want to help. ... If you can find a few friends in your life who are loyal in that special way, then you’re going to be a lucky person."^SU27
