General Receives His Own Death Notice From Pentagon - He Is Alive Thankyou

"It actually said I'd died," he said.

In telling the story to a group of officers recently at Fort Polk, La., Schoomaker recalled his wife's bemused reaction.

"She said, `What's this?'"

Explanation: He came out of retirement to be Army chief, so when the Pentagon's accounting staff saw that his name dropped from the retired officers payroll they figured it was for the usual reason: death.
