Before the Lowell C. Hein Post 2529, V.F.W. opened its new home at 604 West Perkins
Avenue in 1958, for a time in the 1950s the Post was located at 603 East Water
Street, at the northeast corner of Water and Perry Streets. This spot had
formerly been occupied by the Sandusky office of the Kelley Island Lime and
Transport Company, and in the 1940s by the Billman
Boat House. Much later the Surf’s Up Wave Action
pool was built at the location; the site is now known as the
Sandusky Bay Pavilion. In 1950, Robert Frank photographed the officers of the V.F.W. for the 1950-1951 term.
An article in the April 7, 1950 issue of the Sandusky Register Star News reported
that the new officers for the Lowell C. Hein Post 2529, V.F.W. included:
Richard Heinz, Commander; Frank Silvania, Senior Vice Commander; Elroy Wild,
Junior Vice Commander; Carroll D. Sartor, Adjutant-Quartermaster; Marvin Evans,
Post Advocate; A.A. Moore, Surgeon; Richard Butler, Chaplain; and Alvin Adams,
Trustee.
Officers for the Dads of Foreign Service Veterans
were: Leo Watters, Sr., President; Alfred Uhl, Senior Vice President; James
Shut, Junior Vice President; George Stan Smith, Secretary-Treasurer; Bernard
McGory, Chaplain; Wilson McLaughlin, Judge Advocate; and William Wiedeman,
Trustee. You can read more about the first fifty years of the Lowell C. Hein
Post 2529, V.F.W. in the September 19,
1982 issue of Sandusky Register.
