Z.I.P. Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thoughts and prayers to Adam and his family, and to the extended Glenoak family. I'm sure Coach Steiner will be greatly missed.My sympathy to the Steiners. He coached since Year One at Glenoak. Does anyone remember when Glenwood and Oakwood split? That was a long time ago -- in the 70s I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
