Another member of the Class of ’61 fondly remembers Mr. Schoenberger. He had the unenviable job of trying to get high schoolers interested in Biology, but he was very successful at doing it. My condolences to his family. Bob Peiffer

Stan was my biology teacher, my football coach and my boss for many years at Warwick. I admired him very much for his straight forward approach in solving problems. He touched the lives of so many and will be missed. Rod Welch
