2003 Historymaker Calvin C. Goode dies at age 93

We are saddened to learn that long-time Phoenix City Councilman Calvin C. Goode has died, Wednesday, December 23 at the age of 93. He was honored as a Historymaker by the Historical League in 2003. There are many, many tributes to him. He will be missed.

KJZZ reports: As Phoenix’s second African American council member, Calvin C. Goode was elected 11 consecutive times. He served a record 22 years before retiring. Goode died Wednesday at the age of 93. Through a city spokesperson, the Goode family said Calvin C. Goode passed at 3:25 p.m. on Dec. 23, 2020, at Banner University Medical Center from a non-COVID related illness. Memorial services are pending. The family requests privacy during this time.

 During a 2001 interview for the Historical League’s Arizona HistoryMakers collection, Calvin C. Goode was asked what he’d like to be remembered for. 

“Don’t talk about all the awards,” he said. “I got a lot of plaques but remember me as a person who tried to do the best thing for people.”

Historical League December Zoom meeting is fun!

December's Historical League meeting has always been a festive one with delicious foods, good friends, holiday outfits, libations and a short meeting. Zoom meetings are not quite the same although President Susan Dale motivated us to bring on the Christmas Cheer for 2020.

Claire Nullmeyer organized an auction and raffle as well so we had much to be grateful for.

Can you find Norma Hinton wearing a Christmas sweater? or Linda Fritsch donning a moving, singing, jingling Santa hat?

Zoom meetings are productive. Linda Corderman gave an update at the December Historical League meeting on the Historymakers Hall renovation. She is working with Historymaker and artist Ed Mell who has donated images for the Hall.

Marilyn Murphy encouraged us to be judges for the virtual 2021 National History Day regional (Feb.) and state (March) events. For more information www.ArizonaHistoricalSociety.org or contact nhdaz@azhs.gov

Arizona Daily Star writes about Tastes & Treasures II

More publicity for Tastes & Treasures II, thanks to PR chair Carolyn Hartman. This time in Arizona Daily Star featuring stories, history and recipes from southern Arizona. https://tucson.com/entertainment/books/cookbook-takes-readers-on-historical-culinary-tour-of-arizona/article_cb9fdc13-bc9c-5eae-94d6-ae1dfa176d28.html



 Cookbook takes readers on historical, culinary tour of Arizona


 

“Tastes & Treasures II” features recipes for the Arizona Inn’s tiny BLTs and oven-roasted Brussels sprouts. The inn, at 2200 E. Elm St., was built in 1930.

If you’ve exhausted your rotation of go-to meals, you can try your hand at a recipe from one of two dozen historic Arizona restaurants and buildings that have withstood the test of time.

Chefs from across the state have shared recipes for the Historical League’s “Tastes & Treasures II,” a storytelling cookbook that highlights enterprises and buildings that are at least 50 years old.

The book, published in 2018, has been written for novice cooks and accomplished gourmets. Many of the ingredients are native to the Southwest, Mexico and South America.

Beyond learning how to whip up tiny BLTs or oven-roasted Brussels sprouts from Tucson’s Arizona Inn, “Tastes & Treasures II” also offers insights into the origins of the historic hotel, built by Arizona’s first congresswoman, Isabella Greenway.

According to the book, Greenway built the resort in 1930 to be a customer for the furniture factory she created to give World War I veterans a place to work. It was said that she carried a set of sawhorses around the property, at 2200 E. Elm St., while bedrooms were being built so she could lie on plywood to see the view through the windows.

“Tastes & Treasures II” also takes readers farther south to Tumacacori for a stop at Wisdom’s Cafe, known for its homestyle Mexican food since 1944.

History of water in Phoenix with Leah Harrison


    Where would we be without water in Phoenix? 
A fascinating look into the history of water in Phoenix was presented at the November Historical League meeting by Leah Harrison, manager of Research Archives and Heritage at Salt River Project. We are fortunate to have such outstanding speakers sharing their knowledge and history in Zoom meetings. The photos tell some of the amazing story. Thanks to Dee Steen for co-ordinating the speaker.
