For Tatum Glas, her career as a graphic designer has built up quickly over the years; but her marriage has been a romance on ice.
Glas says she met her future husband while he was working at Lord Stanley's in downtown DeKalb. They eventually decided to wed, and she then heard about a contest being staged by the Rockford IceHogs -- with first prize being a free wedding during a game at the MetroCentre. They won, and tied the knot in front of 3,300 fans between periods of an IceHogs game; she says the period ended with a brawl on the ice, which was being cleaned up even as they took their vows.
Settling into married life, she has turned Tatum Glas Design into a successful enterprise...designing logos and labels for several regional businesses. She also uses her skills to promote the United Leukodystrophy Foundation, in its efforts to fund research into this disease.
Tatum has also used her fast-growing hair to help out charity; Pantene's Beautiful Lengths collects trimmed hair to make into wigs for women being treated for cancer.
