Forever in our hearts
Carlyle Arnold Glean was born on February 11, 1932, to Olive McBurnie and George Glean, both of Gouyave, St. John. His first months were spent in Gouyave, and his early formative years in Belmont, St. George's. He attended the Grand Anse R.C. School from 1937 to 1943, where he was a cub scout. His mother tutored him from an early age and he became very fond of books. He returned to Gouyave in 1943, at which time he was admitted to Class V of the St. John's R.C. School where he excelled at his studies. He had two unsuccessful attempts at the Under 16 scholarship examinations in 1946 and in 1947; at which time he was attending the St. John's CD&W (Colonial Development and Welfare) Teacher Training Centre, Gouyave. He successfully completed the three-year programme there and topped the list at the 3rd Year Examination in 1949.
Mr. Glean was appointed a Student Teacher at the St. John's R.C. School, January 1950, and in 1951 he passed the Senior Cambridge Examination, obtaining a Grade II certificate. In 1952, he was appointed a Second Class Teacher. Mr. Glean got married to Norma DeCoteau, a teacher at the same school, in April 1955. The passage of Hurricane Janet later in September 1955, seriously affected his family. He migrated to England in February 1956. During his stay in England, Mr. Glean worked as a bus conductor with London Transport. He started a correspondence course leading to the ACP (Associate of the College of Preceptors) but was unable to complete it. He returned to Grenada in September 1960.
He rejoined the staff of the St. John's R.C. School in October 1960, and was appointed Tutor in Classroom Management and Instruction in 1961, for the St. John's/St. Mark's In-service Teacher Education Programme. He attended seminars and workshops conducted by local and visiting facilitators. In 1963, Mr. Glean was named Teacher-in- Charge of the Senior Department and in 1964, acted as Principal of the Happy Hill R.C. School. In September of that year, he was accepted at Grenada's Teachers' College for the one-year programme leading to the University of the West Indies Trained Teacher's Certificate. He was President of the Students' Council.
Mr. Glean returned to his former position at the St. John's R.c. School. In January 1967, he was appointed Principal of Happy Hill R.C. School. However, his term was brief, as in September, he was awarded a CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency) scholarship to the University of Calgary, Canada, where he successfully completed the Bachelor of Education Degree (1967 - 1970), majoring in Social Studies.
He returned to Grenada in April 1970, and served a three-month stint as acting Principal of St. John's Christian Secondary School (May-July). In September, he was appointed Tutor, Grenada Teachers' College, where he taught Social Studies and Education. In 1972, Mr. Glean was awarded a one year Graduate Teaching Assistant Scholarship by the University of Calgary to do a Master of Arts Degree in Education, majoring in Curriculum and Instruction, with emphasis on Social Studies.
On his return to Teachers' College in 1973, he was appointed Vice-Principal, then Principal, in 1974. Mr. Glean took up an appointment in December, 1976, as the first Lecturer in Social Studies Education at the Faculty of Education, University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus. In that capacity, he worked closely with the Social Studies Tutors at the Teachers' Colleges in the OECS and Barbados.
With his interest in classroom interaction, he applied for, and was awarded a British Council Scholarship in 1981 to pursue a Master of Arts Degree in Education at the Department of Applied Research, University of East Anglia, U.K. He successfully completed the programme in 1982 and returned to Cave Hill. He was a member of the Social Studies panel of CXC and an Assistant Chief Examiner 1979 - 1984. Mr. Glean returned to Grenada from Barbados in September 1986.
Mr. Glean and his wife Norma have five surviving children (Corinne, Carlyle Jr., Susan, Patricia, and Rose-Anne), and fifteen grandchildren. Their second child, Arlene, died in November 1981.
Community
Mr. Glean became involved in many groups in his youth and adulthood. In the 1950's he was the facilitator/tutor for the Sea Folks Club, Gouyave, which consisted of underprivileged children. He was a member of the Apex Boys Club, which sponsored games and cultural activities. That club also funded a scholarship for a needy student to attend secondary school.
Mr. Glean was a foundation member and secretary of the St. John's Citizens' Association, 1961 - 1966. The Association organized sporting, cultural and educational activities in the parish. It also awarded two scholarships to needy students to attend secondary school.
More recently, Mr. Glean served as a volunteer tutor at Newlo (New Life Organisation) 1995 - 2003, working with new trainees in the Adolescent Development Programme (ADP), in the area of Family Life Education and Social Studies.
He also served as Chairman of the Hillsview Home Management committee, 1997 - 2007.
Church Affiliation
Mr. Glean, a Catholic, served on his parish Church Committee in the 1960's, and for the period 1993 - 2001. He also served on the Diocesan Pastoral Council, and later became a member of the Catholic Central Board of Management (CCBM). He was an Extraordinary Minister, a Cursillista, Coordinator of the Gouyave Catholic Men's Group and choir, and a member of the Coordinating Team for the Men's Eucharistic Passover.
Political Affiliation
Mr. Glean became associated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 1987, and later became a member and chairman of the St. John's Branch. He contested the 1990 elections but was unsuccessful. However, the NDC formed the Government and he was appointed a Senator and the Minister of Education. During the first year, he was made Leader of Government Business and, after the 1995 General Elections, he became the Senior Opposition Senator. He resigned from the Senate in 1998. He also served as General Secretary, and later, as Deputy Chairman of the NDC.
Sir Carlyle Glean served Grenada, with distinction, as Governor General, from 2008 to 2013, before retiring to his home in St. John.

Sir Carlyle Glean will be remembered by most as a statesman, but I will remember him as one of the kindest gentlemen I met. I was one of the recipients of the Kenny Lewis Scholarship when I passed the Common Entrance exam in 2003. Every year for 5 years, I along with the other recipients of said scholarship met at his house where we would talk about how our year went and he would speak to us in his soft-spoken but engaging way. By my last year of Anglican High School, he became the Governor General and then attended my graduation, presenting certificates and awards to the students. I don't think anybody else knew but he and I exchanged knowing looks every time I came up to the stage. I don't remember if he said anything out of the ordinary but I would like to think that he was proud --or at least found it amusing that I kept grinning for the camera like I did. Now that I've heard many people talk about him the last few days--none of the tributes seem out of the ordinary. He was exactly who they've said he was -- a humble, all around good man that served his community. Little did I know at my young age that those characteristics are in short supply. I just thought that most people would be like that. I don't have to wish you a peaceful rest Mr. Glean... because I already know that you are.

Mr. (Sir) Carlyle Glean was indeed a Gentleman or, need I say, a self-made Gentleman whose many contributions to society are a clear testament to the quality of the man. Even without having known a whole lot about his background, I've always admired Mr. Glean, and now that I've read that brief biography (Tribute) my admiration has increased beyond compare. Mr. Glean's educational escapades are indeed impressive and should be a source of inspiration for every Grenadian trudging through the educational system.

December 21, 2021 – Prime Minister, Dr. the Right Honourable Keith Mitchell has extended deepest sympathy on the passing of former Governor General, Sir Carlyle Glean.
He died Tuesday, at the age of 89. Sir Carlyle served as Governor General from 2008 to 2013 and prior to that he was Education Minister from 1990 to 1995.

Sir Carlyle was a well-respected son of the soil. He was a good, decent human being and what I admired most about him was his level of humility, even after being appointed Governor General. I pray that he rests in eternal peace.”

He retired at his home in St. John where he has been ailing for a number of years.
Sir Carlyle was a great educator who served his country as Minister for Education from 1990 to 1995.
Grenada has been fortunate to have benefited from Sir Carlyle’s warm spirit, his abiding belief in duty and service to country, his devotion to God and family.
On behalf of the people of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique, and on my own behalf, I extend deep sympathy to Lady Glean and the family of the late Sir Carlyle Glean during their time of grief.
May God give you the strength to bear the pain of this great loss. May his soul rest in peace
