Arthur Smith Obituary
He is survived by his wife, Marcia L. Thoen of Plymouth, MN, and his son, James Arthur Smith of Concord, MA, and their many family members and friends.
He taught and directed Bands in Hector, Fairmont, and Rosemount, Minnesota. He retired from District 196 in 1987 after building the well-respected band program begun in 1965. Art was devoted to family and friends, was warm and humorous, and as an educator, was dedicated to helping each and every one of his students grow as musicians and as people.
