Calvin was born to Herbert Adams and Velma Cranwell Adams. He attended school in Imperial until ninth grade, when he made the decision to leave school to help support his family by working farm jobs in the region.
Calvin married Valetta Gaunt Dec. 25, 1953. Calvin worked many different jobs in his lifetime. During the beginning of Calvin and Valetta’s marriage, he worked in Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska in heavy equipment road construction. After leaving construction, he began working at the United States Air Force site in Colorado Springs.
Once he finished working for the Air Force, he began a career in truck driving, where he worked for many different companies from 1958-69.
