In Memory of Calvin Wooten

On January 5, we said goodbye to Calvin Wooten, a former AFB board member and Migel Medal recipient.

Calvin was one of my all-time favorite people. He was born in Alabama and lost his sight in early childhood. He was a self-made man and a brilliant entrepreneur. He started Wooten Piano Company, a business that he owned and operated for 50 years, and later founded Wooten Enterprises, a real estate investment company.

Calvin was more than a successful businessman and blindness advocate, he was a dear friend. He will be missed.
