Not long ago, Vietnam War Navy veteran Terry Glinnon lived in a hotel room above the White Horse Saloon. He also previously lived in a broken-down car and couch surfed at a friend's house, but those situations were not permanent or sustainable. Glinnon, 75, had his struggles with the law and substances through the years. He has vision and hearing impairments and lost his wife of 45 years about 10 years ago. He is now living in a donated RV in a small Spirit Lake RV park. He's off the streets in a warm space and has found housing and support through the North Idaho Veterans Village.
