My husband's grandfather, Adolph Schenkel, was part owner of
Caswell-Runyan. The fire that destroyed Caswell-Runyan, Utah Radio
Products and Utronics Corp. was June 7, 1962. It was "the most
devastating fire Huntington has ever known".
I have a lot of the company's history if anyone would like to have a
copy.
