Worked with C
I had the opportunity to work with Cal in the West Chester Engineering Office. For years we worked together and all we knew was Cal Swartz. Unbeknownst to many of us he was Calvin Swartzentruber. Cal worked the Coatesville Central Offive and he would tell me that the farm down the road from me would sell for millions whenever the farm would sell. Well it closed, sold for millions. Everytime I go past that 50 and over development I think of Cal. Such a kind intelligent man ahead of his time. I will forever think of him. Oh and he was pretty funny also. Thank you Cal for the memories.
