The Journal of Sedona Schnebly by Lisa Schnebly Heidinger

A delightful afternoon with soft breezes on a lovely patio drew fans and supporters of Lisa Schnebly Heidinger and Arizona History. They wanted to be the first to get The Journal of Sedona Schnebly, have her sign the book and listen to a reading.

Tastes & Treasures II, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona is fortunate to have Lisa be a major contributor to the new cookbook, telling the stories about the historic venues. With her distinctive writing skills, the restaurants and resorts become more than old buildings. They hold the history of Arizona within their walls, and tell the histories through their recipes and foods.

Co-chairs of Tastes & Treasures II, Linda Corderman, Cathy Shumard, Leslie Christiansen and Ruth McLeod are very pleased that Lisa is an Historical League member!

Carolyn Warner and Lisa Schnebly Heidinger guest speakers at Nov 6 meeting

Lisa Schnebly Heidinger and Carolyn Warner

What a delight to hear from past AZ Superintendent of Public Instruction, Carolyn Warner, with introductions from historian and author, Lisa Schnebly Heidinger. The duo are quite good at public speaking sharing amusing anecdotes and fascinating stories. They had also teamed up to write a book called Before I Forget. Carolyn's latest book is The Last Words, A Treasury of Women's Quotes.
Carolyn explained her career, "From a teen who wasn't interested in getting married, to a woman with six children, I slowly got involved with the schools." She directed the state's Department of Education 1975-1987.  She also met every President from Truman to Obama.
Of her close friendship with Erma Bombeck, "One day we were in deep discussion in the kitchen, while preparing dinner for the family. Until the bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken caught fire in the oven . . ." So many more great memories in the books. Looking forward to reading them.
The Historical League has also teamed up with Lisa in writing Tastes & Treasures II, A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona due out in January 2018.
