In the overly crowded boardroom at the headquarters of
McArthur Welding, Rotarians enjoyed a delicious Mexican lunch, a Readers Digest version of
Horseplay and the chance to bid a fond farewell to Dan McArthur, who, with his
wife Bunny will report on July 1 for three years of service as President of the
Mexico Monterey West Mission of the LDS Church.
In this new assignment, he will oversee the missionary work of 220-240
young men and women - "mostly Hispanic kids," said Dan.
McArthur Welding, which was officially established by Eldon McArthur in 1942, has evolved into a successful family owned and operated business without any bank loans and with only word-of-mouth as their advertising plan. According to Dan, Durant (“the scientist”) left the family business to pursue a career working with plants. Dan , Sam, a couple of sons and a daughter-in-law are the workforce which keeps the business moving forward.
“I always wanted to be a doctor,” said Dan, “but a chemistry class at BYU changed his plans. I’ve never worked so hard for a D+. After I graduated, Dad asked me to come back to St. George and run the business. He said, ‘you won’t be wealthy, but you’ll have sufficient for your needs.’”
Sam will take over as the company’s CEO.
Members of SGR wish Dan and Sam well in their new assignments.
