Celebrating Arizona Historymakers
Earlier this year, the Historical League, Inc. selected TGen Drs. Jeffrey Trent and Daniel D. Von Hoff as two of the 9 individuals named Arizona Historymakers for 2023. They join Frank Barrios, Dr. Michael Crow, Angel Delgadillo, Dolan Ellis, Terry Goddard, Denise Resnik, and Mrs. Elizabeth White as this year’s inductees.
Created in 1992, the award program recognizes Arizona individuals who have distinguished themselves with noted achievements and have maintained ties to Arizona. 90 Historymakers have been honored over the years at celebration events and included in the Historymakers Hall exhibit at the Arizona Heritage Center. Their videos, oral histories, and transcripts are uploaded to the League’s website and preserved in the Library & Archives of Arizona Historical Society’s Arizona Heritage Center.
Since 1979, the Historical League has contributed more than $2 million dollars to the Arizona Heritage Center and League members have volunteered over 175,000 hours to the museum.
The Arizona Historymakers Committee will honor the inductees with a recognition event at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, October 14, at the Arizona Heritage Center in Papago Park. The public is welcome to attend. Tickets are $250 each. For further information and reservations, contact Diana Smith at 865-414-3220.

This is an interesting article talking about Route 66 across the country.

As Zona Lorig Historymakers Legacy Chair comments, "Hurray for Illinois. Maybe they’ll be a beacon for the other Route 66 states!"
