Ohio State University was dear to Lynn McCall's heart. In 1949 he graduated with a business degree, grateful for the many lifelong fraternal friendships, as well as the fine career opportunities that his college had afforded him. He and his future wife, Georgeann, met in their senior year. Graduating together, they became OSU Alumni Association Life Members; they spent their lives enthusiastically cheering Buckeye teams on to victory.
Like Lynn, Georgeann also found serenity in gardens and places of natural beauty. After Lynn's death in 1992 Georgeann looked at the Chadwick Arboretum as an ideal place to honor Lynn-in a garden that is in close proximity to many of their favorite athletic venues. A collection of spruce cultivars near the corner of Lane Avenue and Olentangy River Road, provides a true living memorial. This collection was given by Georgeann "Cal" McCall and her children Michael, Scott, Leslie, and Lynn on April 26, 2002 to honor her husband and their father Lynn E. McCall. Lynn's ashes were interned at the site during the ceremony so that he would forever be part of the Ohio State University.
