ARIZONA..

I have a lot of memories of the State of Arizona.

For a year, from the Autumn of 1963 into the Autumn of 1964, my wife and two sons lived in Arizona.

I worked full time here (I had an Arizona Driver’s License etc) and I was planning to make Arizona our long term permanent home.

We lived North out Black Canyon Highway (now Interstate 17) in the Sunnyslope Community of Phoenix. During this period, for three months, I worked full time in Yuma, Arizona.

Then, beginning in late November 2016 and continuing right up to today, Patti and I have been “Winter Visitors” for many, but not all, of the winters since then.

Statehood Day in Arizona is observed every year on February 14.

Arizona was granted statehood in 1912. It is the sixth-largest and the 14th most populous state in America.

The present-day territory of the state was inhabited by various Native American tribes, such as the Anasazi, Mogollon, and Hohokam. It became a fertile land that supported many civilizations. In the 16th century, the Spanish became the first Europeans to set foot in Arizona.

During the 19th century, Arizona would become a part of the Territory of Nueva California when Mexico achieved independence from Spain.

The U.S. would gain possession of the area during the Mexican-American War of 1847.
