Getting to Know Frank Schoen
Friendly and fun – that describes Frank Schoen! Chateau residents know him as a personable guy with a great sense of humor and a whistle that lets you know where he is!

But he adds, “I am still a DAMN YANKEE!”
Army Veteran…

Animal Lover & Tax Preparer…
He has been a registered tax preparer for 25 years who still offers help to Chateau residents. He and his wife have a daughter, Mickey Schoen, living in Redondo Beach and, of course, we cannot forget his dog Mia!
Despite using a walker, Frank enjoys walking and doing physical fitness. You can find Frank partaking in the wonderful sing-a-longs we have at Chateau La Jolla. A member of Toastmasters, Frank is a graduate of USD, class of 1953. That is, the University of South Dakota, NOT the University of San Diego!
To Travel Is To Live…
To travel is to take a journey into yourself, and that is exactly what Frank did! Over the years Frank has visited all 50 states including Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean Islands! Okay Frank, we are jealous!
