Henry F. "Hank" Schoenfeld, a Baltimore insurance executive and philanthropist who enjoyed flying family and friends in his twin-engine Beechcraft Baron, died Sept. 11 of pancreatic cancer at his Stevenson home. He was 82. Mr. Schoenfeld, the son of a salesman and a homemaker, was born in Nuremberg, Germany, and spent his early years there and later in Munich, which coincided with the rise of Nazism. "They knew trouble was coming. His father, who sold clothing, was finally told by his customers that they could not longer buy from a Jew," said a daughter, Judy Schoenfeld Morrison of Pikesville.

For Jim Schoenfeld, who has been the Washington Capitals head coach for six days, the honeymoon is over."We are looking for instant results," said Capitals team president Dick Patrick. "There is no time to slip back or even hold steady. We need to win to make the playoffs."It is up to Schoenfeld, who replaced coach Terry Murray Thursday, to get the job done. And Schoenfeld has a record for rallies. He took over the New Jersey Devils with 30 games left in 1987-88 and took them to within one game of the Stanley Cup finals.

Washington Capitals coach Jim Schoenfeld is one of the most positive men anyone could hope to meet.Even after back-to-back losses to Boston and the New York Rangers this week, which revealed some of the Capitals old inconsistencies, and learning that injured goalie Rick Tabaracci will be unable to even skate again until the middle of next week, Schoenfeld said he is sure his message is getting through."

The Washington Capitals' new coach, Jim Schoenfeld, is going into this job with his eyes wide-open."It is a big job," he said last night from Philadelphia, where the Capitals will play the Flyers today. "The team is achieving well under expectations. I've got a group of players who aren't very resilient mentally. When something goes wrong, they expect the situation to get worse, not better."This is a team that has dug itself a points hole, to the point of being out of the playoffs, and an emotional and mental hole.

The Washington Capitals have blown leads in four of their past five games -- including Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Quebec Nordiques -- but coach Jim Schoenfeld says the problem is with a few individuals rather than the whole team."

Washington Capitals coach Jim Schoenfeld sat at one end of the locker room beside Dimitri Khristich, joking with his players before practice yesterday at Piney Orchard Ice Arena.A little later, he got up and, like a good comedian, worked the room and left them laughing.Veteran center Dave Poulin watched his coach go out the door and smiled."I don't think there are many similarities between our coach and [New York Rangers coach] Mike Keenan," said Poulin, who played for Keenan when he was a first-year coach in Philadelphia in 1984.

LANDOVER -- It was a strange situation to say the least. "One instant," said Jim Schoenfeld, "it was an hour before the game and I was walking around saying, 'Nice to meet you,' and the next I was saying, 'Let's get ready to play.' "But the new coach of the Washington Capitals knew of the team all right, probably better than some of the people who have been calling the shots for the club the last few years."When I was playing [13 seasons] and coaching [three seasons, two teams], the personnel was different, but the Caps were known as hard workers.

Frances G. Schoenfelder, a homemaker who participated in the first human flag ceremony at Fort McHenry, died March 9 at Glynn Taff Assisted Living in Catonsville. She was 104. In 1914, when she was 13, the former Frances G. Drenner took a streetcar with classmates from their elementary school on Old Frederick Road to Fort McHenry. She donned a hooded red cape and joined about 6,000 Baltimore children in the flag formation that has become a springtime tradition. She often pulled out the sepia-toned photograph of the event and recalled that she stood in the second red stripe.
