Chandler Museum Tour September 22, 2022

 Chandler Museum tour was filled with history and 'behind the scenes' visits. Thanks for Lynn Woods for organizing this. Thanks to Bonnie Newhoff for great pictures.

The tour brought to life the Dust Bowl in Chandler, AZ. Bonnie Newhoff comments, "We learned some fascinating history of Chandler. The handsome guy in the old black and white photo is Dr Alexander Chandler himself. He was a veterinarian but more interested in real estate. The oil over the fireplace next to Pat Faur is him in his nineties."

Lunch at the Olive Garden afterwards was delicious and a wonderful time to socialize.
