- "Rav Schwadron traveled abroad frequently to raise money for the institutions with which he was involved. During his months-long stays, he would address congregations, conventions, and other assemblies, solidifying his title of "Maggid". It was on one of these trips, in late 1964, that he was invited by Rabbi Avrohom Zelig Krohn, father of Rabbi Paysach Krohn, to stay at his home in New York, even though Schwadron didn't know him or his family personally. Rav Schwadron insisted on paying rent, which R' Krohn agreed to reluctantly. During the five months that Schwadron resided with the Krohns, a close bond formed between him and the family. When Rav Schwadron announced that he was leaving after Pesach to travel back to Israel by boat, the entire family saw him off at the pier. Then Rav Krohn handed Rav Schwadron an envelope containing all the "rent money" he had paid, as he had never intended to keep it. A few days later, Rav Krohn said he missed his guest so much that he decided to greet him when his boat docked in Israel. He and his wife quickly arranged passports and flew to Israel two days before Rav Schwadron arrived. After giving the Schwadron family their own time for a reunion, the Krohns appeared with their own welcome.
- Rav Krohn was diagnosed with a terminal illness after this event, and died a year later. Six months after that, the family received a letter from Rav Schwadron saying that he was coming to America again. Rav Schwadron became a surrogate father to Krohn's seven orphans.He showed great sensitivity towards Rav Krohn’s widow, remembering his own mother’s struggles to raise her orphaned children.
- With Rav Schwadron's encouragement and active input, Rabbi Paysach Krohn penned the first of his popular "Maggid" books, The Maggid Speaks, published in 1987. Subsequent titles (Along the Maggid's Journey, In the Footsteps of the Maggid) memorialized Schwadron's influence on the overall project. After Rav Schwadron died, Rabbi Krohn's titles reflected that fact, too (Echoes of the Maggid, Reflections of the Maggid)."
