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.

National History Day inspirations

"Hanging with a couple of my favorite grades, 7th and 8th! Students from the Tucson Baptist Academy came today to learn about what was happening in Arizona at the same time as the Roman empire and the American Revolution. We developed a scavenger hunt for them to explore what was happening in Arizona who was doing what in Arizona and how life was in Arizona during these two time peroids. Leonard Moody, NHDAZ Coordinator had some time to introduce the NHD experience. This is a great recruiting class".

From AHS Chief Education Officer Dr. Kristen Rex who does a fabulous job of engaging students!
