50 • THE ARTISAN SUMMER 2020 EXTENDED FAMILY NEWS In the mid-1990s, make-up artist Patricia Gearhart and Dennis Glass joined energies and created the guest rancho Las Bougainvillas Inn, in Todos Santos, Baja, Mexico. It was a short walk to the beach. Many people in our union, and several of the stars that Dennis worked with, escaped the pressure of the business by just dropping by to hide out, enjoy the BBQ , eat, drink, ride horses, swim and walk on the sand. Dennis was an international traveler. Sometime in the 1970s, I once found Dennis hiding out in the Hotel Mathies in Zurs, Austria, an exclusive ski resort, as a bartender and skiing in the daytime sun with all the professional skiers. Many professional world-class skiers came to Zurs to share their love and passion for skiing. Dennis was a top skier. In Memoriam What a place to hide out after the Army. He then headed on to Greece for a tan and Ouzo. He returned to the US in mid 1980s and joined the union in 1987, and stayed active until 2007. One day as I was working on a print job, including a commercial for Camel cigarettes, they wanted to test six additionals for the lead, so Dennis just stood by and was told "make sure they don't sweat." In an hour, Dennis was a Camel cigarette tryout for the commercial. He became one of the test subjects to keep the original Camel man on task. He was always personable and well liked by everyone he knew. Welcome, Violet! Violet Estella Hutchins was born on May 28 at 6:53 am, weighing 7 lb 12 oz, and measuring 21 inches long.
