Mr. Mitchell was raised in Enola, Arkansas and was drafted at the age of 18 for the Korean War, stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas. He graduated from Arkansas State Teachers College in 1963. He was an accountant for the State of Arkansas for over 30 years. He served many years on the Board of Directors for Arkansas Federal Credit Union and served several terms as president of the board. He was also a member of the Arkansas Association of Government Accountants. Mr. Mitchell was an avid golfer. He lost his hand in an accident but that didn't stop him from doing what he loved. He designed a prosthetic device which locked into his golf clubs to give him better control of his swing. As he travelled the state playing golf, people were amazed at his ability to play so well. Mr. Mitchell never wanted to be viewed as handicapped and worked hard to overcome any physical obstacles that existed.
