Angel Delgadillo, 2023 Arizona Historymaker
A Rock Star . . . Angel Delgadillo was labeled that by emcee Carey Pena at the October 14 Historymaker™ Celebration. She realized there was a line to see him at his Seligman Barber Shop every morning. Visitors from Brazil, France, Scotland - all wanting to meet the man who saved historic Route 66. Honored as 2023 Arizona Historymaker, he spoke of the ten year effort to make Route 66 a historic road. His is the story of one man who never gave up in the face of nearly unsurmountable challenges. He finally retired from his barbershop in 2022 at the age of 95.
Carey Pena reflects on Oct 14 2023 Historymakers Celebration
Emcee for the 2023 AZ Historymakers Celebration Carey Pena writes, "For the better part of this year, we've been working on this documentary project, and I was so happy to stand at the famed Arizona Heritage Center for the big reveal!

Frank M. Barrios 2023 Arizona Historymaker
Frank M. Barrios story is inspiring. During his interview, with the help of Carey Pena, he told us about his life and work. We gave our full attention to the BIG screen at the 2023 Arizona Historymakers™ Celebration October 14. It brought many of us to tears as we realize he is no longer with us.

AZ Recollections & Reflections book enjoyed by AZ teachers
"Teachers all over Arizona appreciate you!! Many thanks to the HistoricalLeague.org for the book donations to the 'Back to School' conference," AHS education director Dr. Kristen Rex writes.
The conference hosted by GeoCivics offered much for teachers including gifts of "AZ Recollections and Reflections". The Historical League’s Centennial book tells stories of Arizona in first person accounts (from the AZ Historymakers). It continues to be a go-to source for teachers.
