Covid Memorial Quilt Exhibit at AZHC

 If you missed the Covid quilt exhibit at AZ Heritage Center, you missed something really remarkable. At our March meeting, Historical League members were able to see it along with the general public for the last time.

“Marked By Covid” had its third annual Covid Memorial Day Virtual Vigil at the museum -- Bearing Witness -- featuring guest speaker Senator Elizabeth Warren, AZ Governor Katie Hobbs and Representative Greg Stanton.

TGen Dr. Jeffrey M. Trent is welcomed as a 2023 AZ Historymaker at AZHC

With a wave of their hands, the 2023 Arizona Historymakers acknowledged their nominations. The February event was a time to appreciate the Historymakers for their contribution to Arizona. The crowd welcomes the TGen doctors Dr. Jeffrey M. Trent and Dr. Daniel D. Von Hoff in these videos.

Congratulations to all the 2023 Arizona Historymakers:

Photographer/videographer Extraordinaire Kyle Wheelan films 2023 AZ Historymakers Announcement

 A picture is worth a thousand words. We are grateful for the pictures and short videos from photographer Kyle Wheelan who recorded history on Feb. 23 for the 2023 Arizona Historymakers Announcement.

Historymaker Program Chair (and Kyle’s grandmother) Diana Smith reports, “Kyle Wheelan is a senior in high school in California and has pursued photography as an avocation for years -- especially photographing undersea/underwater marine life. He loved meeting all of you, and being part of the Announcement Reception.”

Just Ask Claire

 How do you plan a party announcing the 2023 Arizona Historymakers? One that fills the Arizona Heritage Center lobby to overflowing? Just ask Claire Nullmeyer to do it.

Historymaker Program Chair Diana Smith put it very well when she sent out thank you notes.

“Claire -- for your endless hours and love -- the cakes, the decorations, the tables, the reception table, ironing table covers, the flowers, the coordinating of AHS staff, the food service, the ordering of all the goodies, Mrs. White's special cake, --- all the myriad of details down to all the cleanup you did last night and returning the linens today. . . more than kudos.”
