Globe history with Norma Hinton

 Memories and history abound with Historical League member Norma Hinton. Rose Mofford lived across the street from Norma's grandparents in Globe. Norma's father, Norman Clements, taught Social Studies to Rose and also coached the 1939 State Track and Field Championship which included Edwin and Lewis Tewksbury, sons of the Pleasant Valley War family in AZ.

Norma Hinton recently chatted with Christine Marin, ASU Professor originally from Globe, AZ. "I talked to her at the January meeting because I knew her from my work on the Globe High School Hall of Fame, of which she and my father are both members. She also said my father, Norman Clements, was her father's coach in Globe in the 1930's. I noticed the HL gave a copy of Tastes and Treasures to Christine which includes my Globe grandmother's recipe of Cornish Pasties."

Fascinating family background and so glad to have Norma as Historical League member at Arizona Heritage Center at Papago Park.
