First of all, I am so sorry to learn of Dr. Calvert's passing. I will never forget November of 1974. After I had my son, he came into my room and he wanted to be the pediatrician, and I said yes, sir. And he was like a friend, more than a doctor. My son Enjoyed going to see him even though he was young. He also loved the fish Aquarium. We went there for many years. Not long ago I pulled into a place where I was going and Dr. Calvert got out of his very nice sports car and I said hi to him and I asked him if he remembered my son and he said what's his name and he said yes, I remember him whether he did or not he made me feel good with that comment. I Have drove every once in a while going down normal? I will still look at that building and I can still see everything inside. But It's different, Only good memory! RIP Dr. Thomas Calvert...My friend.
