HONORING THE REVEREND CHARLES SCHAUM
______
HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY
of new york
in the house of representatives
Thursday, June 11, 1998
Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Reverend Charles
Schaum upon his retirement and to praise his work of the last thirty-
one years at the Union Presbyterian Church in Newburgh, New York.
Reverend Schaum's contributions to the community will be celebrated
this Sunday at a party in his honor and I want to join his family,
friends, and neighbors and the entire community in thanking him for his
many contributions--leading the way in creating a nursery school, a
counseling service, a food bank for the poor, reading programs, and so
much more. Reverend Schaum also served as the President of McQuade
Children's Services which provides important educational and housing
services to troubled children. He encouraged friends and parishioners
to do God's work in the community by helping others, especially those
in need, and becoming one of God's ``coworkers.'' Mr. Speaker, today I
want to join all of the Reverend Schaum's ``coworkers'' in thanking him
for his years of service to the community and wishing him the very best
this Sunday, and in the future.
