Members of Major General Maurice Rose Jewish War Veterans Post 51 in Middletown —
including (left to right) Department of Connecticut Commander Norman Hanenbaum, Post
member Bernard Slater, and Post Commander Morton Pear – arrived at the Newington
Veterans Hospital to serve danish and coffee to patients one morning in June. The vets have been dispensing breakfast treats at the hospital for the past three years…and while they’re at it, Commander Hanenbaum entertains on his keyboard.
