Calvin Englehart was born in Detroit, Michigan on October 17, 1934. On his eighth birthday his dad came home and told him he had a baby sister for his birthday. Boy, that went over like a lead balloon. Calvin wasn’t at all pleased with having a sister for a birthday present, but what eight year old would? When Calvin was in the eighth grade the Englehart family moved to Saline, Michigan and four years later he graduated from Saline High school in 1953. One of his comments on his class will was leaving his telephone conversations with the senior girls to a Tom Richard. Some of his comments he received in his yearbook were: one from Norma, “never forget how lazy we were in economics” and “to a real pal” from Dorothy, and the one I’d like to know more on was the comment Shirley had written “you’d better be careful next time you’ll drown Hansen and yourself.” He was vice president in his junior year and in his year book he wrote “I’m not arguing with you I’m telling you. ”He even put that saying on his bio for his 2003 reunion. The class motto was “tonight we launch; where shall we anchor?” He loved cars and wanted to be an auto mechanic in high school but went in to the army a year later. He was in Battery “A” the 554th AAA Missile Battalion in California. After the army he took technical training and started working for Boeing and was involved in installation and testing of a couple of missile programs and a saturn booster program. I believe this was the start of his computer life. He went to General Electric on installation and maintenance of the GE400 and GE200 computers. He did a lot of traveling in the United States to several companies to solve their computer problems. His last job was Keane who purchased the General Electric Consulting Corporation.
Calvin was a good helpful person to everyone, helping in both personal and computer situations. He will be missed by everyone he knew.
Remember Calvin is not arguing with you he is telling you: no matter where you go or what you do, do the best for everyone you know including yourself. Maybe it’s his way of saying, do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
