William Steaffens '50 was recently honored for nearly 25 years of service on the Stoughton, WI, Housing Authority. Appointed in 1979, he served for many years as treasurer, until resigning in January [2004] due to health-related reasons.

"During those years he has continued a commitement to the community by proactively working to provide low-income housing to the elderly in our community," stats a proclamation signed by Stoughton Mayor Helen Johnson. "He has not only been a longtime resident os Stoughton, but a longtime contributor to our community by giving of himself, his time and his knowledge," states the proclamation.

In 1969, he received the Scouts' Silver Beaver Award, the highest recognition made by a Boy Scout COuncil.
