Many Thanks
Many thanks to the AHS members, staff, and Central Arizona Chapter board members who attended the first Members Feedback event.
A lot of very good ideas were surfaced on how we can become a more dynamic, creative, and nimble organization.
One thing is clear: We need to tap into the skills and insight of our members more frequently.
A follow-up report on the meeting will be posted.

The Slaughter Ranch
The ranch was the home of the famous John Slaughter, who served as Sheriff of Cochise County during some of the wildest "shoot em up" years. [Some of you may recall the television series about Sheriff Slaughter. Its theme song noted, "Texas John Slaughter made men do what they oughter, because if they didn't, they died."]
Dillinger in Tucson
The Arizona Historical Society web site has a slide show on gangster John Dillinger and his nefarious activities and arrest in Tucson.
