Auntie Charo's Soapbox

KUAM's Andi Atterberry reported this evening that:"KUAM's late owner, Edward M. Calvo, is being honored tonight by the Guam Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber recently the selection of Calvo, who was the co-owner and first vice president of Calvo Enterprises, Inc., as a laureate into the Guam Business Hall of Fame this year."
Eddie was more than just the co-owner of Calvo Enterprises and whatever titles he had in the family organization. He was active in politics, he was a civic leader and he was generous to the church and to many non-profit organizations. At one time, you could have gotten a donation out of Eddie from Calvo's Insurance, from Mid-Pac Liquor, from KUAM and from the theaters, 'no' wasn't in his vocabulary when it came to giving back to the community.
I'm not saying that the Chamber or any other group should build a statue in his honor, or anyone else's honor, for that matter...just that sometimes, it's a real honor for a community to put you into a Hall of Fame while you're still alive......I think Edward M. Calvo deserved that.......while I'm at it, you can put Jerry Calvo on the list...he's still alive, as is his brother, Paul!
