No, I don't have their biographies too well memorized.  Callery's family
came from Pittsburgh banking and he was the brains behind putting the first
(1902) PRCo together.  Fitzgerald came I think from somewhere in maybe Ohio,
with street railway or other utility experience.  Palmer was an engineer by
education, a native of Erie, I believe.  He joined the company in
I-want-to-say 1932.

That's about the extent of what I know without looking the people up!

Ed, I will always say you are a walking library...

You probably don't know (from your head knowledge) some life/company data of
these people?
