'''Marvin E. Anding''' (March 10, 1922 – September 11, 1983), was a former [[colonel]] in the [[United States Air Force]] who served from 1977 until his death in office as the [[mayor]] of Bossier City in northwestern [[Louisiana]].
Anding was the son of Ellis (born 1893) and Lillian Anding (born 1902). He was born in Adams County in western [[Mississippi]] but moved as a child to Washington in Ouachita County, [[Arkansas]]. He served in the [[United States Army Air Forces]] and then the Air Force and fought in [[World War II]], the [[Korean War]], and the [[Vietnam War]].<ref name=meanding/>
Anding was the retired commander at [[Barksdale Air Force Base]] in Bossier City at the time of his election as mayor in 1977. In January 1978, a devastating [[tornado]] struck Bossier City. Mayor Anding and [[Sheriff]] Vol Dooley went on a Louisiana National Guard [[helicopter]] flight to survey the damage. Then KEEL [[radio]] announcer John Lee of [[Shreveport]] recalled the "shock and disbelief that Anding and Dooley both exhibited that morning and the absolute heart-felt sympathy that they expressed to those who were most seriously impacted by the storm."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://710keel.com/long-time-bossier-parish-law-enforcement-officer-passes-away/?trackback=tsmclip|title=Long-Time Bossier Parish Law Enforcement Officer Passes Away|date=August 13, 2014|publisher=KEEL (AM)|accessdate=December 28, 2014}}</ref>
Eleven months later, another destructive tornado struck Bossier City after first hitting [[El Dorado, Arkansas|El Dorado]], Arkansas. This twister did at least $100 million in damage. Mayor Anding said that only divine intervention could have kept the death toll so low: "He (God) must have been with us. I can't believe we only had two deaths with the miserable, miserable mess we have out there."<ref name=tornado/> The Bossier City tornado leveled a nearly vacant motor hotel on the city's east side near Louisiana Downs. It injured sixty persons. Anding was compelled to order the arrest of looters and ordered a curfew from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. The storm leveled homes, schools, trees, and businesses in an eight-mile path two-blocks wide.<ref name=tornado>{{cite web|url=http://www3.gendisasters.com/louisiana/13335/bossier-city-la-tornado-dec-1978?page=1|title=Bossier City, LA Tornado, Dec 1978|author=Stu Beitler|date=July 18, 2009|accessdate=December 28, 2014}}</ref>
