Meeting Abraham Lincoln

History conventions are fun. Nothing like rubbing elbows with the famous President Lincoln. Carolyn Mendoza and Zona Lorig enjoy their photo op at ACHE convention in Mesa. The Historical League has raised funds to donate Arizona Recollections and Reflections An Arizona Centennial Historymakers Commemoration to schools and public libraries throughout Arizona. Thanks to our generous sponsors, we handed out 40 books to very appreciative history teachers!
