tribute by Kevin KelleyI did not know Mr. Swingon personally, but through our association with Coolidge it is with great admiration and respect that I am proud to say that another Coolidge Colt has gone to that great Corral in heaven where someday all Coolidge Colts will gather once again. May the grace of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ be with you and your family always.Reverend Rivers D. McCreary, 111 Class of 1967
