Note on Husband: Arthur Meighen REYKDAL

Arthur Meighen Reykdal was an Icelander, born and raised in Lundar, Manitoba. He lived mostly on cigarettes and beer. He was noisy, profane, and extremely funny. He used to drive Bob Clarke to distraction, and eventually he wasn't allowed to typeset anything even remotely to do with religion (he usually made changes, several of which put noses out of joint all over town). He was distainful of preachers, pomposity and any form of authority. Needless to say, we kids who folded papers at the Progress, worshipped him. But Art's most scathing criticisms were directed at himself -- his published autobiography was titled "Autobiograhy of a Damn Fool", the same as his hero Mark Twain's unfinished autobiography.
