Years later, when Glaser and Armstrong recounted how they reunited after a decade apart, they told different versions. Said Glaser, “When Louis came back from England, he was broke and very sick. He said, ‘I don’t want to be with anybody but you. Please, Mister Glaser, just you and I. You understand me. I understand you.’ And I said, ‘Louis, you’re me, and I’m you.’ I insured his life and mine for one hundred thousand dollars apiece. Louis didn’t even know it. I gave up all of my other businesses, and we [became a team].”
