 Arnie
Wells, longtime member of our club passed away the morning of June 24,
2009. Arnie was a steady attendant of our monthly club meetings and volunteered
for the coin show (photo from 2009 show) and the Puyallup Fair. He enjoyed
US coins but really enjoyed two-dollar bills or any currency with a
numeral 2. In addition, Arnie was a hit with the neighbor kids as he made
sure they received the newest quarter after release from the mint. His
other main interest, aside from family, was his garden. Arnie didn't get
to do much gardening this year, but his family, especially his son Joey,
kept it going in hopes that Arnie would get home to enjoy it. Arnie will
be missed by many, including our club members. |
 Jack Meeker (1921-2009), another longtime member of our club (and one of
the founding members), passed away the evening
of July 3, 2009, as reported by Del Cushing. Jack served the club in many
different capacities over the years, and will be greatly missed. Jack was interred at Mount Tahoma National Cemetery on Friday, August 14 at 1:30
