Tim Steele was a great guy. Didn't he get into local politics?

I've kind of lost track of Tim Steele the radio/TV guy. He did work in the I.T. department at WOOD-TV for quite a while, but he left there and I don't know where he is working now if at all. May be retired. I also knew of Tim Steele the race car driver. He was quite accomplished on the mid west short tracks such as Berlin where I saw him race many times. He won a lot in some of Nascars mid level divisions. He also ran a few races in Nascar's top circuit, but never really had a competitive ride. May Tim Steele the race car driver RIP.

:rollin I reconsidered and made a judicious edit. Dunno where Lemon is now and didn't wanna besmirch his character.
