If you caught the radio tribute to the late Paul Arnold of the Gospelaires on “Gospel Memories” (www.gospelmemories.com) this morning, you heard that family, friends and associates of the singer are petitioning for his nomination to Dayton, Ohio’s Walk of Fame.
Everyone interested in seeing Mr. Arnold receive his just deserts in his hometown is encouraged to send a letter of support to:
Dayton Walk of Fame
c/o Wright Dunbar,Inc.
1105 W. Third street
Dayton, OH 45402
Re: Paul Arnold Sr., Lead Singer, The Gospelaires of Dayton, Ohio,
Dayton Walk of Fame Nominee
Your letter should articulate what you feel Mr. Arnold has contributed to gospel music or to the Dayton, Ohio community, and request his nomination to the Dayton Walk of Fame. Letters must received by Wright Dunbar, Inc. on or before March 31, 2010.
Thanks in advance!

Bob,
I want to thank your for hosting the program honoring my father The Late Paul Arnold, Lead Singer of the Gospelairs of Dayton, I also want to thank Amy Krietzer, Opal Nations, my two brothers, Jerome Bruce Arnold, Paul Arnold Jr and my sister, Shaheeda Saleem for their awsome contribution to the success of this program. As Bob state we are asking people who knew Paul, seen him perform, performed with him, if he help your career or encouraged your career; write the committee and let them know the importance of his contribution to Gospel and Pop Music. Paul was a friend to many and never met a stranger, always willing to give a helping hand. I would also appreciate a copy of the letters sent to the nominating committee so I can give you my own personal thanks. My email is”
