A celebration of life was held for Mawk Arnold in the American Legion hall in Fairhope, AL on Saturday and, as Tom Kerr of our organization reported, “the hall was filled to its rafters. I swear more than half of the town was there!” Kerr reported that Dale Dye and Bob “Dink” Bayer, two of Mawk’s “snuffies” from the Vietnam war era were on hand. “Dale’s eulogy was simply magnificent!”
