Gift, from front with letters to various dassmates. His niece, Janice Cunningham, of Nappanee, remembers spending time hiking with her uncle and daughter near his home in Scottsdale and describes Callander as a very thoughtful man who loved young people and valued education highly. Mark Johnson, who credits Callander as his mentor, expressed a similar opinion. He described him as a voradous reader who, once enamored with an author, would read everything he could find from the writer. He says that Callander subscribed to the Nappanee Advance News and would often talk about his hometown and visiting the public library as a young man. Johnson, who was executor of Callander's estate and cared for him during his illness, also stressed that his friend was very young at heart, always staying up to date on current affairs and popular culture. He shared that while his grandparents were at home watching Lawrence Welk, Dick was picking up the latest CD from Dave Matthews. A current student in accounting at the University of Arizona in Tucson, the two met while Johnson worked as a night auditor at the Glader Park Inn. Callander encouraged the young man to pursue a bachelor's degree and later gave Johnson the opportunity to stay in his home while he continued his education.

"He meant a great deal to me, and I truly miss him," says Johnson. "We are truly humbled and grateful for Mr. Callander's bequest," said Nappanee Public Library Director, Lissa Krull. "We appredate that Nappanee residents will be the benefidaries of his love of the Library and of his hometown for many years to come." The library is currently in the process of deriding how best to honor Mr. Calendar's legacy. It plans to use the funds to support interests which he valued during his lifetime. The Wa-Nee Board of School Trustees voted to establish a Richard Callander endowment scholarship fund in the amount of $98,000 through the North Wood High School Dollars for Scholars board. Initial plans are to reward an annual $5,000 scholarship to a deserving NWHS senior planning to pursue a business/accounting degree. The first scholarship will be awarded in the Spring of 2012. "We are grateful for Mr. Callander's generous gift, which will provide scholarship funds for students for years to come," said WaNee Superintendant, Joe Sabo. In the senior dass will of 1948, Callander willed his ambitious nature to the following year's Napanet editor. Little did he know that that very trait would one day enable him to will so much more to his beloved hometown.
