 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. |
