DR. GLENN H. MILLER, JR.
Glenn Harold Miller, Jr., Ph.D '65, of Overland Park, KS, died on August 7, 2010. He was 79 years old. Memorial services will be 11 a.m. Thursday, August 12, 2010 at Faith Lutheran Church, 4805 W. 67th, Prairie Village, KS. Glenn (known as Harold while growing up and longer to some family members) was born in Abilene, KS, August 23, 1930, to Glenn Harold and Helen Adelaide Halbert Miller. He grew up in Chapman, KS, and attended public schools there. In 1948 he graduated from Dickinson County High School in Chapman. Upon receiving a Summerfield Scholarship, he attended the University of Kansas in Lawrence, where he earned Phi Beta Kappa membership in his junior year. He graduated with an AB degree in 1952, and received an MA degree in economics in 1954. After serving two years in the U.S. army, Glenn entered graduate school at Harvard University. He received his Ph. D. in economics from Harvard in 1965. During the early 1960s he taught economics at the University of Kansas, where he also served as Assistant Director of the Center for Research in Business. Glenn joined the Economic Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City as business economist in 1964 and became vice president and senior economist in 1973. He retired as vice president and economic adviser in 1994. He was a member of the American Economic Assn., the Economic History Assn., and the Agricultural History Society. During his professional career he published papers on business and economic history, public finance, and U.S. interstate migration. Glenn's love was always first with his family; apart from that his greatest loves were the University of Kansas and opera. He was preceded in death by his parents and by his wife, Nancy Lynn Miller. He is survived by daughter Kathy Gillmore, son-in-law Brian and grandchildren Kevin and Ashley, all of Phoenix, AZ; son David Miller and his companion Martha McDaniel, of Mission, KS; brother Kenneth Miller and sister-in-law Marilyn of Madison, NJ; nieces Lisa of Florham Park, NJ, and Susan of Wilmington, DE, and their children.
