Tony Dierckins of zenithcity.com reminded us that today marks 50 years since the death of then-Duluth Mayor E. Clifford Mork, who died Aug. 14, 1962, at age 57.
The 1922 Duluth Central High School graduate born Emil Clifford Mork died suddenly at his home in the middle of the night. Newspaper reports gave no cause for Mork's death, and his personal physician only said that the mayor had no history of heart ailments.
During his career, Mork appointed a committee that eventually developed the Arena Auditorium, which is known today and the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.
