"Rev. Gleason, once a successful business man of Oregon City, Oregon, relinquished his business career in favor of Gospel work. After having graduated from the Apostolic Bible Institute, St. Paul, Minnesota, he pioneered a church in Albany, Oregon, pastoring the same for eleven years. He served three years as president of Conquerors bible College in Portland, Oregon, and six years as superintendent of the Oregon District of the United Pentecostal Church.

He and his wife, Laurabelle, reside in Rupert, Idaho, where he is presently pastoring the First Pentecostal Church. Their son, Turner, and daughter, Joan Sargeant, reside in Albany, Oregon. A second daughter, Janette and her husband, Rev. Vern Yadon, live in Chattanooga, Tenn. where he is currently pastoring.

These remarks written by his brother, Rev. Wendell Gleason, St. Paul, Minnesota."
