She hasn't changed much as these photos show with daughter Jennifer and granddaughter Reagan at Children's Holiday Party (circa 2003) and at Family Holiday Party (December 2022) with Jennifer and husband Stan at the "Cinderella" event . . . which, of course, she decorated.

Guest speaker at Historical League Recognition Luncheon

Robert Stieve, editor of Arizona Highways, was the guest speaker at Historical League's Recognition Luncheon at Paradise Valley Country Club. What a wonderful presentation filled with history and fascinating stories of the Grand Canyon as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the park. 
Did you know that AZ Highways gets no funding from the state? It made publishing history In 1946 with the first all-color magazine in the world. The cover of that issue was a photograph from Barry Goldwater who contributed many more photographs over the years. Presented with a copy of Tastes & Treasures II: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona as a thank you gift, Robert was most appreciative.
