| Info | William Donald Schaefer was educated in Baltimore's public schools and was graduated from Baltimore City College in 1939. Mr. Schaefer received his J.D. degree in 1942 from the University of Baltimore School of Law.
Mr. Schaefer's legal career was put on hold by the U.S. entry into World War II. He joined the Army, achieved officer rank, and took charge of administering hospitals in England and the European Continent. Following his tour of duty, he remained in the U.S. Army Reserves and retired in 1979 with the rank of Colonel.
After the war, Mr. Schaefer resumed his legal career, practicing real estate law. He earned a Master of Law degree in 1954 from the University of Baltimore School of Law and formed a general practice law firm with two colleagues. His concern for city planning and housing in the city propelled him to a seat on the Baltimore City Council in 1955.
In 1967, Mr. Schaefer ventured into citywide politics by running successfully for Council President. Four years later he also ran successfully for the Mayor's Office (1971-1987). He was elected Governor in 1986 and served the maximum two terms (1987-1995).
Prior to his first election as Comptroller in 1998, Mr. Schaefer was Of Counsel at the law firm of Gordon, Feinblatt, Rothman, Hoffberger & Hollander, LLC, in downtown Baltimore.
