Thank you for helping to get my RMD straightened out.
​
After a career as CEO of a children's charity, I moved to Tucson (although Phoenix 'Chicago in a desert' was my intended destination) and began looking for those stories I didn't remember from my history classes.
​
Enjoying many an afternoon at Gentle Ben's and Frog and Firkin, I began learning about numerous U of A personalities as well as Tucson's earlier settlers.
​​
​Hope you enjoy these stories.
