Lattie Coor supporter of Tastes & Treasures Volume II

 Creating Tastes & Treasures Volume II Storytelling Cookbook in 2015 featuring stories and favorite recipes from historic destinations, Arizona Historymakers, Historical League families, and supporters was a labor of love.
The Historical League was so pleased to receive this memory and recipe about Lattie Coor from Elva Coor, Lattie's wife. 

It is with sadness we relate that Lattie Coor (1936-2026) has now passed.

Happy Parent Appreciation Day!

 National History Day Arizona comments, "Behind every NHD student is a parent or guardian offering encouragement, support, and plenty of rides to libraries, museums, interviews, competitions, and late-night project work.

Thank you for cheering on your students through every stage of the research process. Your time, patience, and support help make their discoveries—and their success—possible.

Today, we celebrate the parents and families who help inspire the next generation of historians!"
