SOME LIFE DAT.A ON KENNETH PRNOLD
I was bor n March 29 • 1915 in Subeka. Minnesote. . ~y father ' s
name vras Edward Erb Arnold; my mother t s maiden name was Bertha
E. Barden. I was a resident of Minnesota until· I was six years
old when my family moved to Scobey. Montana. where they home•
steaded . My grandfather, Role.nd C. Arnol d also homesteaded in
Scobey. Montana , and became quite prominent in political circles
al ong with Burton K . Viheel er , the famous Montana senator.
I went to grade school and high school at Minot, North
Dakota . I enter ed scouting at twelve years of age and achieved
the rank of Eagle scout before I was fourteen. My former scout
executive was H. H. Prescott, now a regi onal commissioner for
the Boy Scouts in Kansas City, Kansas .
>s a boy, l was inter ested in athletics and was sel ected
as an all- state end in 1932 and 1933 in the state of Worth
Dakota . I entered the U. S. Olympic trials in fancy diving in
1932 ; I was a Red Cross Life Saving Examiner during the years
of 1932 , ' 33 and 1 34. I taught swimmin~ and diving at scout
camps and the municipal pool in Minot, North Dakota. I went
to the University of Minnesota, where I swam and did fancy
diving under Neil s Thorpe, and also played footbal l under Bernie
Bierman, but upon entering college I was unable to continue my
footbal l career because of an injured knee. My high school foot
bal l coach was Glenn L. Jarrett , who is now the head football
coach of the University of North Dakota. I had little or no
finances, and my ambition in furthering my education in college
