ROCHESTER — In Rochester Center, there’s an honor roll, which was adorned with flags for Memorial Day. The names of those who served their country from World War I through the wars that followed are there.
There’s another plaque for the man for whom the once Rochester Square was renamed.
Calvin Daggett was born in 1924. In 1942, he married Rochester native Palmeda Arruda and settled in her town.
Daggett, better known as Cal, was a master craftsman — a carpenter, cabinet maker, and building contractor.
