Schaen of Newark was honored at a March 20 testimonial dinner at the Aetna Hose Hook and Ladder Company Hall.

Cmdr. Schaen recently had the distinction of meeting with Vice President Albert Gore, Secretary for Veterans Affairs Jesse Brown, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell at a mid-winter conference for national and state officers in Washington, D.C. in early March. Thomas L. Kissell, Director Administrative Services, VFW Headquarters, Kansas City, Mo., represented the national organization at the occasion. Bill and his wife Olga reside in Harmony Hills.
