To the Editor:
I have found out that Marvin Tarbox Jr. did not want a funeral. He wanted a party. Marvin got his wish Oct. 28 at Anah Shrine temple. I am sorry that I did not know about this. In his memory, donations may be made to Shriners Hospital for children, care of Anah Go Carts, Anah Temple Shrine, PO Box 735, Bangor, 04402-0735
This Mason and Shriner came to our community doing something he loved to do, to bring joy to those who lined the streets to see his act. He did it for the joy of seeing all the smiles.
