Plane Crash in Chester County Claims Life of School Board President

The incident occurred near an Amish farmhouse and a cabinetry shop in West Caln Township, narrowly avoiding a direct hit on a residential structure. Ganow, remembered for his 26 years of service on the school board and his role as a family man, was flying a 1978 Grumman GA-7 aircraft. The FAA and NTSB are investigating the crash, which has heightened local concerns about the safety of living near an airport.
