FROM ADA ICON - Steve Arnold and Brian Clum go way back.

"We met in Kindergarten at Allen East," laughs Brian.

Mrs. Dickey was their teacher that year, and it was 1974-75. They played T-ball together and were in Lafayette Cub Scout Pack 11 together.

Spending each high school year together, Steve was Brian’s best man in Brian and Kelly’s wedding in 1990.

As they went their own paths, they stayed in touch. And, this winter their paths crossed again.
