2nd Vice-President, Membership – Frank Glazer. Elected 2023. I started my collecting life, now a 55 year passion, at the age of twenty after discovering a pair of Cufflinks that belonged to my maternal grandfather. I have never stopped searching for more of the same type – Snap Cuff Links – two identical faces connected by a snap mechanism. They are my specialty and I have close to 1500 pairs with no duplicates. During my career in higher education I wore a different pair to the office every day. Five years ago I became fascinated with German Beer Steins. So fascinated in fact that I surprised myself when I liquidated a second long loved collection of Coca Cola advertising items. The impetus was embracing my German heritage and focusing on a much more personal hobby. I’m from McKeesport, Pennsylvania, a small steel town just outside of Pittsburgh which has both a history of German neighborhoods as well as a great German Club, the Teutonia Mannerchor. I have been a member of the Mannerchor for ten years and an active volunteer serving special events, especially Oktoberfest. I have been a member of the Pittsburgh Stein Club (sponsored by the Mannerchor) and a member of SCI for the same period. I have attended the past three Gambrinus Club’s regional meetings and the past three SCI Conventions. My Stein collecting focuses on themes with a direct personal connection. My first Stein was a Butcher Occupational honoring my paternal grandfather. I also collect Steins of cities that I have visited during another passionate hobby of mine, world travel. I have a total of nine with Berlin, the birthplace of my paternal grandmother, purchased at the 2023 Convention. Having been to several Munich Oktoberfests, I have collected all of the six Brewery Steins served at the fest. I look forward to serving SCI, its current membership as well as expanding our reach.

Chris joined SCI in 2009 and resides in Noblesville, IN with his wife, Kathy, and immediate family nearby. Collecting steins is in Chris’ blood as his dad (Norton) collected steins starting back in the 1960’s. Chris has always been intrigued by the detailed artwork on some of the steins and he himself started collecting 20 years ago. Chris is semi-retired and works part-time in the material handling world as a systems designer. He is blessed with a fantastic family and grandkids. He is always on the lookout for high quality steins, and also enjoys working on cars, playing golf and cycling. Being an avid cyclist, he has taken a liking to many of the cycling steins and continues to expand his collection. He has attended the SCI annual conventions since the San Francisco meeting in 2019, and always enjoys the educational aspect at the round table presentations. Chris is currently the Vice President of the Thoroughbred Stein Verein club in addition to serving as Secretary for the SCI Executive Committee. He looks forward to making life-long SCI friends!
